Mumbai cyber police have successfully recovered Rs 1.1 crore out of the Rs 7.9 crore lost by a local businessman in a digital arrest fraud.

Digital arrest scams typically involve fraudsters posing as law enforcement or government officials to intimidate victims into believing they are under investigation, coercing them into transferring large sums of money under the guise of legal compliance or safety.

In a separate law enforcement development, police in Delta arrested two suspects during a stop-and-search operation. Authorities recovered two locally fabricated Beretta pistols, approximately 200 grams of suspected cocaine, a walkie-talkie, and a dagger from the individuals.
