Guwahati, Nov 19: Punjab Police have arrested two men from Assam, Najrul Ali and Midul Ali, for their alleged involvement in a “digital arrest” cyber fraud case, officials reported on Monday.
The scam involves fraudsters impersonating law enforcement officers, tricking victims into believing they have committed a serious crime. The perpetrators demand money from the victims under the threat of legal action, manipulating them to remain online in a state of fear until their demands are met.
