The Delhi Police arrested a man accused of duping former Chief Justice of India Justice RM Lodha of Rs 1 Lakh. In the FIR, Justice Lodha had said that he received an email from his friend, Justice B P Singh, a former Supreme Court judge. The email further asked Justice Lodha to send “Rs 95,000 or Rs 1 lakh” to a surgeon’s bank account, details of which were sent to him. Justice Lodha transferred Rs 1 lakh in two installments of Rs 50,000 each to an account held by a man named Dinesh Bali. After the transaction was done, Justice Lodha realised that his friend’s e-mail account had been hacked, following which he approached the police.
