Hyderabad:Cyber fraudsters threatened a woman stating that her son has been arrested in a sexual assault case by the city police and collected Rs 50,000 from her through digital banking.

The victim Rabia Nazneen, a native of Narayanpet, who had come to visit her relatives in Rehmatnagar received a Whatsapp video call in which the fraudsters reportedly dressed in police uniform stated that her son has been arrested in a sexual assault and demanded `50,000 for his release, police said.
