With digital arrest scams troubling people, a man decided to hit back at the cybercriminal. Instead of falling prey to the scammer posing as a police officer, he pulled off a fun prank. The scammer, who was trying to scare his target via video call, got a surprise from the other end - a puppy. Yes, you read that right. The video of the same was shared on Instagram which showed a man wearing a police officer's uniform. The video shows a police officer, who claimed to be calling from Mumbai's Andheri East police station. The fake cop then asks the man to show his face to the camera. That was the moment the prank started. The man picks up his little furry friend and brings him in front of the camera, and says, "Here you go, sir I'm on camera."

After some time, the fraudster realises that he has been pranked. He smiles and then picks up his phone and moves it away from himself. However, the said person keeps laughing and says, "Hey, here I am. Hey, Thanedaar, can you see? Hey fake uniform." After a few moments, the fraudster turns off his camera and disconnects the call.
