|November 21, 2025
The Kolkata Police have arrested three persons from Gujarat in connection with a year-old cyber fraud case in which an elderly woman from the city was duped of Rs 78 lakh, officials said on Thursday.
The fraudsters had posed as Mumbai police officers and pressured the victim to pay after alleging that she had sent a parcel to a person in Mumbai through a courier, which contained drugs.
The complainant has been identified as Deepanwita Dhar, 61. She is a resident of the Maniktala area in north Kolkata.
In her complaint to the police lodged on 9 March, 2024, the woman said that she received an automated call where a person informed her that a parcel she had ordered had been cancelled.
