An elderly doctor in Hisar, Haryana, was targeted in a sextortion and cybercrime scam starting on August 12, 2024. A woman using the fake name Kavita Agarwal (later identified by police as Jaituna) initiated a video call, lured him into exposing himself, and recorded the interaction without his knowledge. Over subsequent weeks, members of a cybercrime syndicate impersonated CBI officers and legal authorities, subjecting the doctor to threats of public disgrace and legal action. The fraudsters progressively extorted approximately ₹1.34 crore (₹1,34,65,000) through multiple payments before the doctor confided in a colleague and reported the matter to cybercrime police on August 31, 2024. Police subsequently arrested four individuals in Rajasthan, including Jaituna and two minors, while Jaituna's husband remains absconding with the bulk of the extorted funds.

This case involves a honey trap sextortion and digital arrest cybercrime syndicate rather than a genuine interpersonal relationship. The perpetrators targeted an elderly doctor in Hisar using a deceptive video call, recorded intimate footage without his knowledge, and systematically extorted money by impersonating law enforcement officers and court officials.
Note: This case does not appear to be primarily relationship-driven; it is an organized cybercrime and sextortion scam. Cyber crime police registered an FIR on September 1, 2024, following a complaint filed on August 31, 2024. Four individuals were apprehended in Rajasthan, including Jaituna and two minors. The two minors were released on bail, while Jaituna remains incarcerated in Hisar jail after three failed bail petitions (including one rejected on January 21, 2025). Her husband, who received the extorted funds into his bank accounts, remains absconding. Only ₹50,000 in cash has been recovered.
Initial confusion stemmed from the scammers impersonating CBI officers, police personnel, and magistrates, leading the victim to believe he was under genuine law enforcement investigation and facing digital arrest.
The offender group initiated contact on August 12, 2024, via a video call in which Jaituna stripped and recorded the victim. Two days later, an accomplice wearing a uniform posed as a CBI officer on a video call, threatening an FIR and public defamation. Over the next fortnight, the scammers fabricated scenarios—including US WhatsApp server deletion fees, settlement payments for the victim's family, and judge bribery—to extract ₹1,34,65,000. When asked for an additional ₹50 lakh on August 31, 2024, the victim disclosed the situation to a co-worker, who prompted him to approach cybercrime authorities.
The offenders exploited the victim's lack of familiarity with modern digital technology and screen-recording features, as well as his concern for societal reputation in a small town. The rapid escalation from small monetary demands (₹5,000) to extortion claims exceeding ₹1 crore illustrates how digital extortion groups systematically test victim compliance and extract maximal financial reserves.
Digital extortion and fake authority impersonation ('digital arrest') specifically target elderly citizens unfamiliar with digital mechanisms like screen recording. Prompt disclosure to trusted colleagues or legal/cyber helplines prevents continuous financial exploitation.
An unsolicited video call from an unfamiliar individual using a deceptive alias (Kavita Agarwal) who requested intimate actions during the call.
Video calls made by individuals dressed in fake police/CBI uniforms, demands for money transferred to multiple distinct bank accounts, and changing excuses for higher payments.
FIR record detailing transaction amounts, recipient bank account numbers, phone numbers used for WhatsApp video calls, and a ₹50,000 cash recovery from suspect Jaituna.
The defense lawyer reported that Jaituna claimed her husband conducted all fraudulent activities and that she did not know his whereabouts because he had married three times. Police and court officials noted that Jaituna refused to assist in locating her absconding husband.
Initial reports indicated an anonymous video call, but cybercrime investigations identified the caller as Jaituna, traced four suspects to Rajasthan, and uncovered that the money was routed into bank accounts owned by her absconding husband.
The exact location and apprehension of Jaituna's husband remain unresolved, as does the full recovery of the remaining ₹1.34 crore.
