A woman from Mangaluru lost over ₹3.16 crore after fraudsters posing as police manipulated her into transferring the money under the pretext of a “digital arrest”, police said.
The woman (40), who has requested anonymity, lodged a complaint with the Cyber Economic and Narcotics Crime (CEN) police station which is equipped to deal with such cases.
According to the complaint by the woman, she received a call on June 6 from a person who was claiming to be an officer from the National Crime Reporting Portal (NCRP).
The caller alleged that a SIM card registered in her husband’s name was being “misused”.
