April 23, 2025 at 3:23 amMy father was recently victim of digital arrest scam and lost lot of money- close to 1 CR. Police caught level 1 person to whom my father made one of transaction (25 lakhs). His bail was rejected in district court. We are worried as police tried everything to convince him to return the money but he didn’t. Post receiving the money, he transferred to multiple accounts. But he was the first hand person. Can we file a civil case against him as well. What else can be done? Police have proof where in lot of messages were exchanged between him and other people for OTP. Please guide us to get this amount from him. -

April 23, 2025 at 3:31 amAm sure if you pay the cops enough, that prisoner will be “convinced” enough to cough up names of others. Remember, for cops, money is more important than justice.-

April 23, 2025 at 4:04 amThat investigating officer is a nice, god fearing man but true, there are so many other corrupt people around. Criminals have a very reputed and a good lawyer (high- cost) and can’t be touched. we are here looking for advice(free) from everyone in a hope that someone can give us with good information or share their experience what works for them. Truly speaking my parents have already given the money to those fraudsters in the pretext of getting out of trouble and now in trouble no money is left. My father is a big time devotee and is a member of orphanage and only thing he was doing was social service day and night. In a world of bad, he also got cheated. We have a hope to atleast get his 25 lakh which can get his confidence back and hence want to try everything 🙁-

April 23, 2025 at 5:35 amLooking at the current situation, it’s true there’s a chance the money may not come back. But we are still holding on to hope. What’s really concerning is that despite so many digital arrest scams happening..there’s hardly any consolidated guidance be it online or offline—on what actually works or what has helped others recover anything. That’s been quite surprising.
It might be because many victims are elderly, or perhaps people feel too embarrassed to speak up, fearing judgment for having fallen victim to something that seems obvious in hindsight-

April 23, 2025 at 2:20 pmWas it not your responsibility to educate your parents about scams which are so abundant nowadays when you know he has so much money under his hands?Also doesn’t your father use a phone? Did he not hear about the warning which is played on every call made?
I mean this is peak negligence by your family.

April 24, 2025 at 4:51 ami have a serious question if the perpetrators have a big hotshot lawyer does it save them from 3rd degree if victim bribes the police lets say with 10lakhs and policeman agrees for 3rd degree torture to make him cough up the names or transfer the amount back????-

April 24, 2025 at 12:41 pmI believed the same but things are not like as seen in movies as said by IO(investigating officer) they need lot other in chain(DSP,SHO,SP) and many more and still doing a 3rd degree can go much against than in favor. They are in remand with nothing just polite asking and all. May be they are some big criminals who no one wants to mess with. Digital arrest/cyber crime is a 11000 crore industry now so may be offer is bigger from other side. God knows..
