Recently there has been a significant increase in scams and fraud incidents. Even big celebrities do not escape the trap of scamsters. Now a new case has come up, in which the scamsters have made Swami Supradipatanand, the secretary of Ramakrishna Mission Ashram in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, a victim of digital arrest. This digital arrest was not for a few hours, but for the entire 26 days. This is the biggest digital arrest ever. In this, the scamsters have cheated Secretary Swami Supardipanand for Rs 2.52 crore.
The scamsters arrested Secretary Swami Supardeepanand in a digital manner for 26 consecutive days. This time the scamsters pressurized Secretary Swami Supardipanand and forced him to transfer funds to various accounts. The scamsters called Swami as a Maharashtra police officer and accused him of joining the money laundering case. He then demanded money for various reasons.
According to the report, the matter began on 17 March, when Swami Supardipanand received a video call. The person on the call described himself as a police officer of Nashik (Maharashtra). The caller alleged that Swami’s name has come in a case of money refinement, including businessmen. Hearing all this, Swami believed in the fraudsters. The scamsters then threatened him that if he did not cooperate, legal action would be taken against him.
How was the transfer of money?
According to the scamsters, Swami transferred a total of Rs 2.52 crore to 12 different accounts across the country. The scamsters told the owners that this is a verification process and the money will be returned to them by 15 April. But when the deadline passed, Swamy lodged a police complaint. When the police started investigating the case, it was found that the matter was related to digital arrest.
Police believe that the case may be part of a large interstate or international gang. Police say that such fraud may be more suffering and their colleagues can also join it. However, the investigation is still in the initial stage.
What is ‘digital arrest’?
Digital arrest is a process of online fraud. In this, the criminal gives information about the fake case and demands money by calling himself a police officer by calling him an online video call. This process does not lead to physical arrest, but financial loss.
