A Telangana Income Tax peon was arrested for swindling a woman out of Rs12.10 lakh through a fake digital arrest scam.

A man named K. Krishnakumar, who works as a peon in the Income Tax Department in Telangana, has been arrested for a "digital arrest" fraud case in Indore. He tricked a woman into believing her parcel was seized for containing illegal items, convincing her to transfer nearly her entire bank balance, Rs12.10 lakh, to him. After realizing the fraud, the victim reported it, leading to Krishnakumar's arrest, though the mastermind, Jai Simha, remains at large.
