Three young men were arrested in Vadodara and Prayagraj for their alleged involvement in a 'digital arrest' scam that defrauded an elderly NRI doctor couple in Delhi of ₹14.85 crore. Police said the suspects used mule bank accounts to route at least ₹6 crore. The couple was held under digital arrest for around 15 days before they realised the fraud.
