Overview
- Jharkhand’s CID arrested a man from Darbhanga on Tuesday in a Ranchi cyber case known as “digital arrest.”
- Officials say the suspect posed as law-enforcement staff and forced an elderly victim to send over Rs 10 lakh to several bank accounts.
- The probe stems from a complaint filed on February 25 at the Cyber Crime Police Station in Ranchi under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the IT Act.
- Police report the SIM cards used were obtained with fake details, a tactic that lets fraudsters mask identities and operate across states.
- Investigators are tracking the accomplices and the money trail, a push that could yield more arrests and help recover the victim’s funds.
