After this, he was digitally arrested and interrogated a lot. Then called and said that ED investigation is also going on in this matter. Your bank accounts will be checked.

Similarly, on some pretext or the other, the old man was pressurized into depositing Rs 10 lakh and Rs 5 lakh more on different dates.
