Hyderabad Cybercrime Police arrested a man who impersonated Central Bureau of Investigation officials online to extort money from victims.
The suspect allegedly threatened targets with fabricated case files unless they paid clearance fees through digital wallets.
Detectives said the scam exploited fear of federal law enforcement among professionals unfamiliar with CBI procedures.
Officers recovered mobile phones and chat transcripts used to coordinate intimidation messages.
Authorities advised the public that genuine investigators do not demand prepaid settlements over social media channels.
