In another incident, a resident of Karnataka fell victim to an online scam, losing Rs 1.7 crore, with fraudsters posing as officials from the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI). The scam began on November 11 when the victim received a call from an unidentified number. The caller, who claimed to be from TRAI, informed the victim that a mobile number registered under his name was being used for illegal activities in Mumbai’s Andheri East.

Recently, a retired Air Force official from Haryana’s Faridabad was duped out of Rs 5 lakh by fraudsters who posed as officials from TRAI and the CBI. The scammers deceived the victim, identified as 55-year-old Aditya Kumar Jha by informing him that he had been placed under ‘digital arrest’ for 55 hours. Jha, who now works as a clerk at Punjab National Bank, fell prey to the scheme.
