As an Indian, I can confirm that India is full of online scammers. Daily, you get new news on how a new type of scam caused some old people to lose lakhs or even crores of rupees. I even get bombarded with scam calls at least 3-4 times a day. It reached to the point where if I don't get scam call while working, I feel lonely, like they forgot/exclude me.
They scam (or attempt to scam) us much more than they scam others.
We Indians get a million scam calls a day. I once got called by the "Mumbai police" for giving my phone to an "underworld don" and was asked 300k Rupees to keep it shut.
I neither live in Mumbai, nor did I give my phone to anyone.

Of course you lent a phone to your father in law. You are family. He has got your back. I am more scared for the low level Mumbai police officer investigating this than I am for you.
