An Indian father foiled a cyber crime attempt by smartly dealing with a fraudster impersonating as a Mumbai Police officer and asking for a bribe to release his accused his son from custody. The man received a fake call claiming that his son named Aayush had gangraped a girl along with some of his friends, which led to his arrest. The fraudster masquerading as a Mumbai cop then asked for money to free Aayush, however, the father’s reply was something the caller wasn’t ready for.

The father recorded the whole incident on camera alongside his epic reply to the caller, who called from Pakistan through the mobile number bearing an +92 ISD code. His Pakistani accent was suspicious even as he asked for money to ensure the Indian family does not get mired in legal troubles. The caller was not able to specify the name of the police station where the boy was in custody.
