In a shocking case of digital arrest, a 26-year-old woman in Mumbai was forced to strip during a video call and duped of Rs 1.7 lakh by scamsters who said her name had cropped up in a money laundering probe, police have said.
The woman, who lives in Borivali East and works with a pharmaceutical company, has said in her complaint that the scamsters called her on November 19 and introduced themselves as Delhi Police officers. They told her that her name had emerged during their investigation into a money laundering case linked to Naresh Goyal, the founder-chairman of Jet Airways currently in jail.
The scamsters threatened the woman with arrest. The conversation then shifted to video call and she was told that she was under 'digital arrest'. The scamsters asked the woman to book a hotel room so that they could continue the interrogation.
