Coman Poses As Delhi's Ex Top Cop, Loots Rs 7 Lakh In Delhi's Vasant Kunj

A police officer, privy to the investigation, said that Mr Joshi paid Rs 7,34,500 in total on three different dates.

In a case of sextortion, a 75-year-old resident of Delhi's Vasant Kunj was cheated of Rs 7.34 lakh by a group of cybercriminals, one of whom posed as former Delhi Police commissioner Rakesh Asthana.

The cyber scammers trapped KN Joshi by using the modus operandi of obscene video chat followed by a call for extortion.

Mr Joshi, in his complaint with the Delhi Police, has said that on January 15, he received a message saying "hello" from a woman who introduced herself as Anjali Sharma.

She then asked for a video call and appeared nude, he said in his complaint, adding, "In a few minutes the call was disconnected."
