Bengaluru: Fraudsters impersonating law enforcement officials duped an 83-year-old woman in Bengaluru of ₹1.24 crore. The incident occurred between October and November, and it came to light when the victim filed a complaint with the city’s cyber police after suspecting fraudulent activity.
According to the woman’s complaint, the fraudsters posed as officials from the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and Mumbai Police. They accused her of being involved in illegal activities and money laundering through her phone numbers, threatening her to share her bank details.
