In Kanpur, Nazirabad police arrested a husband‑wife duo after a retired junior engineer of the Police Housing Construction Corporation, Jitendra Kumar Shrivastava, reported being duped out of Rs 95 lakh over nine years. The couple, posing as RBI officials, convinced the victim that refunds on 22 lapsed insurance policies could be obtained if he transferred money to their bank accounts; they later used the funds to purchase an XUV car, an iPhone‑15 and other items. The scam was uncovered after the victim filed a cyber‑cell complaint, leading to a coordinated investigation by cybercell and SWAT, seizure of the suspects’ assets and their subsequent arrest. The accused claimed they merely facilitated a refund and that the money transfers were for medical treatment, but evidence showed a phishing website and fake RBI notices were used to deceive the victim.
