A retired executive was scammed out of ₹85 lakh by fraudsters pretending to be CBI officers. The gang contacted him on Skype, falsely claiming his name was linked to narcotics and money laundering. They pressured him into sending the money to a company called Rana Garments, promising it would be returned after verification. The funds were then dispersed to 105 accounts. The Visakhapatnam police are investigating, suspecting bank insiders might be involved due to the gang's detailed knowledge. HDFC Bank is working with the police, and the location linked to Rana Garments was found occupied by another firm.
