A woman in Bengaluru has lodged a complaint with the police, claiming that she was scammed by a group of people and was made to strip on a video call. The fraudsters also allegedly duped her of Rs 10 lakh.

In her complaint, the woman, who is a lawyer by profession, said she was contacted by some people on April 5 who claimed that they were officers with the customs department in Mumbai.

The fraudsters claimed that there was a drugs package in her name getting dispatched from Singapore and asked her to strip on video call for a ‘narcotics’ test, the woman said in her complaint.

This went on for two days following which the fraudsters started blackmailing the woman, saying they would upload the video online if she did not transfer Rs 10 lakh to their account.
