Delhi Digital Arrest Scam: Retired Banker Loses Rs 23 Crore

Welcome to the chilling world of Digital Arrests, a rapidly growing cybercrime menace in India. In this video, we uncover the shocking case of Naresh Malhotra, a 78-year-old retired banker from South Delhi, who became the latest and perhaps the biggest victim of this elaborate scam. For an entire month, between August 4 and September 4, fraudsters posing as high-ranking officials from central agencies manipulated him with fear and fake legal threats. They claimed he was involved in a criminal investigation under the NIA Act, fabricated arrest warrants, and warned him of property seizure. He was instructed to remain silent — not to speak to anyone, not even family. By the time the ordeal ended, ₹23 crore had vanished from his bank accounts across 20 transactions. This isn't just a story about one man — it’s a wake-up call for everyone. Digital arrest scams are evolving, preying on trust, fear, and isolation. Scammers are using official-sounding voices, false identities, and psychological tactics to defraud victims across the country.
