|March 27, 2025
In what is assumed to be the first-of-its-kind case of 'digital arrest' in the city, a 59-year-old teacher was allowed to do chores, go to her school and run other errands for 22 days that she was scammed, police said.
LUCKNOW:
All this while, no one suspected that the senior teacher was going through the ordeal.
Before seeking police help, Pramila Maansingh, who teaches at a private school here, lost Rs 78 lakh to fraudsters impersonating CBI officers from March 1 to 22, Lucknow cyber police said.
Police, meanwhile, froze a bank account with Rs 38.80 lakh that belonged to the fraudsters.
