SRINAGAR: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has filed a chargesheet against the owner of a firm from Pulwama in Kashmir and a Deputy Manager of Axis Bank in connection with a Rs 1.6 crore digital arrest fraud case involving a senior citizen in Delhi. The case relates to the alleged defrauding of a senior citizen of Rs 1.6 crore by criminals posing as law enforcement and judicial authorities. The Supreme Court transferred the case from the Delhi Police to the CBI, following which the agency registered the case in January 2026. According to the agency, its investigation has so far established the involvement of a transnational organised gang based in South-East Asia in the alleged digital arrest fraud. The agency has cautioned people against digital arrest scams, stressing that there is no legal concept of a “digital arrest”.
