Latur cyber police have arrested six people accused of cheating a 66-year-old retired BSNL employee out of ₹28.51 lakh in a digital arrest scam. Police said the victim was contacted by fraudsters impersonating police and investigation agencies, including the Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) and the Enforcement Directorate (ED). The scammers alleged he was linked to a ₹122-crore money laundering operation and claimed he had ties to terrorists. To increase pressure, the accused allegedly threatened the victim with imprisonment and public humiliation. They also showed him a forged ED communication to make their claims appear credible. According to police, the fraudsters told him that the Reserve Bank of India required him to move money for verification. The victim transferred ₹28,51,999 into multiple bank accounts after believing the instructions. After the victim filed a complaint, Latur cyber police registered a case under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and the Information Technology Act. Investigators traced the suspects using technical evidence and financial transaction links. The six accused were arrested from Madhya Pradesh, Delhi and Gurugram. They were identified as Amit Shivnarayan Dubey, 40, Anurag Ganeshdatta Mishra, 27, Shivam Madhavsingh Thakur, 24, Ankit Mansingh Yadav, 32, Kunalsingh Narendrasingh Rawat, 30, and Shivkumar Narendrasingh, 30. The accused were produced before a court in Latur on November 1 and remanded in police custody until November 6. Police said all six were already in Bhopal police custody connected to another case.
