  • The fraud began with an IVR call claiming to be from DHL, suggesting illegal parcels linked to her name, including fake passports.
  • After being threatened with arrest, she was manipulated into a state of "digital arrest," where she was coerced into transferring her savings.
  • Despite liquidating her investments, the scam forced her to raise a Rs 40 lakh loan to meet demands from the fraudsters.
  • A police investigation is underway, with a case filed under the Information Technology Act, as authorities aim to recover the lost funds.
