70-year-old loses ₹1.15 crore to elaborate fraud over 6 years
MUMBAI: A 70-year-old woman lost ₹1.15 crore to cyber fraud over six years. The police said that the fraudsters, posing as income tax officers, contacted her under the pretext of returning some of her deceased husband's money and asked her to pay various taxes and penalties over 50 transactions from 2019 to 2025. Darkweb, darknet and hacking concept. Hacker with cellphone. Man using dark web with smartphone. Mobile phone fraud, online scam and cyber security threat. Scammer using stolen cell. AR data code. (Shutterstock) The woman, a Worli resident, on Monday, filed a complaint with the Dadar police, saying that she had received a call in May 2019 from a woman who identified herself as 'Deepika', an income tax officer employed at the Integrated Grievance Management System (IGMS) of the central government. Deepika told the woman that her husband had paid income tax but had not filed for returns, and the department wanted to return that money to her. According to the police, when the woman said that she was not interested in the money, Deepika insisted that if she did not help in processing the refund, she would invite an income tax inquiry and legal action against herself. The police said that in August 2019, the fraudster asked the woman to sign and post a ₹26,550 cheque to a firm from Ghaziabad. During the pandemic, she did not get any calls from the fraudsters, but in May 2023, someone identifying herself as 'Priya' from the IGMS called her and asked for ₹8 lakh claiming it was the penalty she had to pay because her husband had not filed his tax returns for 10 years. According to the police, the fraudsters asked the woman to pay various amounts in the name of transfer tax, Goods and Services Tax (GST) , Central Goods and Services Tax (CGST), health insurance cover etc. They forced her to deposit ₹10 lakh as a security deposit in her own bank account and later instructed her to transfer the bank balance to them, saying that the money would be kept in a fixed deposit and returned to her once the refund process was complete. The police said that the fraudsters demanded various amounts from the woman and coerced her to send the money multiple times, claiming that the transactions had failed. After she had paid them a total of ₹1.15 crore through 50 transactions, they demanded ₹22.5 lakh more claiming that her husband had not paid his Union Territory Goods and Services Tax (UGST) and she would have to pay the tax and the penalty. The woman began to suspect foul play on April 17, 2025 when the fraudsters asked for an additional ₹22.5 lakh. She then filed a complaint with the Dadar police, who have registered a case against the yet unidentified fraudsters under sections sections 318 (cheating), 319 (cheating by personation), 316 (criminal breach of trust) and 351 (criminal intimidation) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).

Dipika Kakar health update: 6 stomach incisions, yet rapid recovery; actress reveals how robotic surgery changed everything
Dipika Kakar health update: 6 stomach incisions, yet rapid recovery; actress reveals how robotic surgery changed everything After 11 days in the hospital and a robotic surgery for stage 2 liver cancer, actress Deepika Kakar shares her recovery story and emotional family outing post-discharge. By Shiwani Kumari Advertisement Popular television actress Deepika Kakar has opened up for the first time about her recent and harrowing health journey. Diagnosed with Stage 2 liver cancer, Deepika underwent robotic surgery and spent 11 days in the hospital. Now discharged and slowly recovering, she shared her experience in a heartfelt vlog on her husband Shoaib Ibrahim's YouTube channel. Out and about after surgery In the video, Deepika, known for Sasural Simar Ka, can be seen stepping out for the first time since her surgery, not for a check-up, but for a family outing with husband Shoaib and their son Ruhaan. Until now, outings had been limited strictly to hospital visits. Advertisement === Shoaib revealed, 'After talking to the doctor, we decided to take her out to lift her mood. Everything she does—whether it's going out or eating—is done with the doctor's permission.' Lightening the mood, Shoaib teased Deepika, saying, 'A talkative and social person like her shouldn't be kept locked at home!' Robotic surgery helped her heal faster Deepika credited her quick recovery to robotic surgery, saying, 'I recovered this quickly because of robotic surgery. Open surgery usually takes much longer. When we first met our doctor, he said robotic surgery would be the best option since the tumor hadn't spread.' Advertisement === View this post on Instagram A post shared by Dipika (@ Six precision cuts, no open surgery Explaining further, Shoaib added, 'In open surgery, there's usually an L-shaped incision on the stomach, but in robotic surgery, Deepika had six small incisions at different spots. Through these, the camera and tools were inserted.' Deepika elaborated that not every patient is eligible for robotic surgery, 'It depends on the case. For transplant patients, robotic surgery is usually not an option.' She also explained the initial risks and how her doctor handled them,'Our doctor, Dr. Somanath, was very enthusiastic about trying robotic surgery. But they had my consent in case anything went wrong—like heavy bleeding—and they needed to open the body during the procedure. Thankfully, it all went smoothly without any complications.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by Dipika (@ Now, with small robotic stitches healing across her abdomen, Deepika is on the mend—stronger, grateful, and ready to slowly return to her regular routine. Her journey serves as a reminder of how far medical science has come, and how openness about personal health can inspire many.
