The Supreme Court has issued a notice to the Central Government, RBI and CBI and others and sought their answers in the case of fraud of about Rs 23 crore by keeping a 78-year-old retired banker under digital arrest for a month. The bench of Chief Justice Surya Kant and Justice Joymalya Bagchi has issued notice on the petition filed by Naresh Malhotra.

In the petition, a request has been made to direct the concerned banks to deposit the defrauded amount of Rs 22.92 crore in the accounts of the petitioner. Malhotra has made Kotak Mahindra Bank, HDFC Bank, Axis Bank, ICICI Bank, IndusInd Bank, City Union Bank and Yes Bank as parties in the case.

Cyber ​​criminals had declared themselves as ED-CBI officers

Cyber ​​criminals, posing as officials of the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and CBI, defrauded a retired banker of South Delhi’s Gulmohar Park area of ​​Rs 23 crore by allegedly keeping him under digital arrest for about a month.

In this regard, an official said that the accused allegedly told the victim that his Aadhaar card was related to drug trafficking, terrorism financing and Pulwama terror attack. After this, on the pretext of investigation, the accused kept him in a state of ‘digital arrest’ in his flat.

What did the police tell?

Police said, ‘The fraudsters instructed her not to leave the house and forced her to transfer her savings to various bank accounts over a period of one month.’

Realizing that he was cheated, Malhotra lodged a complaint on the National Cyber ​​Crime Reporting Portal (NCRP) on September 19 last year, after which the case was handed over to the ‘Intelligence Fusion and Strategic Operations’ (IFSO) unit.

Police said that an FIR has been registered in this case and transactions from various bank accounts related to the fraudulently obtained amount of Rs 12.11 crore have been frozen.
