Jaipur, Nov 11 (PTI) A 56-year-old woman in Jhalawar allegedly died by suicide after being cheated of lakhs of rupees and blackmailed by a cyber fraud gang, police said on Wednesday.
SP Amit Kumar said police have arrested six accused from Bihar.
The gang allegedly lured the woman with promises of buying rare coins, extorted money repeatedly and sent fake police notices and AI-generated photos and videos to threaten her with implicating her son in a serious crime, Kumar said.
Six minors, including a girl, were also detained in the case, he said.
Police registered the case on November 1 after the woman’s daughter filed a complaint. Digital analysis of her phone and financial transactions led investigators to Bihar, where police arrested the accused on November 6 with assistance from local police.
Police said the six adults are on three-day police remand, while the minors have been sent to a juvenile facility. Further investigation is underway. PTI AG ASD
