90-year-old ex-judge cheated of ₹2.5 crore in digital arrest scam

A 90-year-old retired district judge was allegedly kept under 'digital arrest' for nearly 15 days and cheated of ₹2.5 crore by fraudsters posing as CBI and RBI officials. The fraud was uncovered when an SBI manager prevented the victim from transferring money from his PPF account. He reportedly shared details of his mutual funds and other financials with the fraudsters.
