A retired government official from Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, fell victim to a sophisticated scam orchestrated by cybercriminals who impersonated officers from the Delhi Crime Branch, resulting in a staggering loss of Rs 60 lakh.

The perpetrators employed a deceitful strategy, falsely accusing the victim of serious crimes such as money laundering and child trafficking, alleging his involvement in the transfer of a massive sum of Rs 68 crore.

Over the course of six harrowing days, the victim was subjected to intense coercion, leading him to transfer funds to various accounts under the threat of a fabricated arrest, compounded by the receipt of a counterfeit court notice demanding additional payments.

In response to this alarming incident, the victim took action by reporting the crime to the Ghaziabad Cyber Crime Police, who have since registered a First Information Report (FIR) and are actively pursuing an investigation into the matter.
