Delhi: A 35-year-old doctor based in Delhi fell prey to an intricate and deceptive scam involving individuals impersonating FedEx employees and Mumbai Police cyber crime officers, who manipulated her into believing there was a fraudulent parcel addressed in her name containing illegal drugs. The scammers, employing a sophisticated ruse, subjected the doctor to a three-hour video call during which one of the suspects closely monitored her activities and pressured her to transfer Rs.5.10 lakhs from her bank account. The woman filed a complaint regarding the incident, leading to the registration of an FIR against unknown suspects at a cyber police station on April 6. The charges were filed under sections of the Indian Penal Code related to cheating. According to a senior police officer, authorities are actively working to identify and apprehend the perpetrators.
