The Khammam Cyber Crime Police have arrested three people from Andhra Pradesh for duping a Khammam-based retired teacher of ₹59 lakh in a ‘digital arrest” fraud case.
The accused were identified as Yerri Swamy, 35, E. Lakshma Naik, 35, and K. Narayana Reddy,49, of Anantapur district in Andhra Pradesh.
According to the police, the accused allegedly coerced the victim to transfer ₹59 lakh in different spells in April 2025 under the guise of ‘digital arrest’ by pretending to be police from Bengaluru.
The trio allegedly intimidated the victim by making false charges that his Aadhar card was used for job frauds and anti-social activities.
Khammam Police Commissioner Sunil Dutt appreciated the Cyber Crime police team that nabbed the accused from Andhra Pradesh in a well-coordinated operation.
