Delhi Woman, 85, Loses ₹1.34 Crore in 'Digital Arrest' Cyber Scam

• An 85-year-old Delhi woman, Kawal Manchanda, was duped of ₹1.34 crore in a "digital arrest" cyber scam.
• Scammers posed as police officials and lawyers, threatening her with legal trouble and arrest via WhatsApp calls.
• Over nearly a month, they pressured her into transferring the large sum from her bank accounts in multiple transactions.
• A case has been registered under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), and police are investigating the WhatsApp numbers and bank accounts.
• Police urge citizens, especially seniors, to be cautious, emphasizing that no authority conducts arrests or legal proceedings digitally.

Why It Matters: Be wary of "digital arrest" scams; authorities never demand money or conduct arrests digitally.
