"Scam 2003: The Telgi Story" is a web series based on the real-life story of Abdul Karim Telgi, who was involved in one of India's biggest financial scams. The series is a part of the popular "Scam" franchise, which began with "Scam 1992: The Harshad Mehta Story."

Abdul Karim Telgi was a fruit seller who rose to infamy as the mastermind behind a massive counterfeit stamp paper scam that shook India in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Telgi's scam involved printing and selling fake stamp papers to banks, insurance companies, and other institutions, resulting in a loss of thousands of crores to the Indian government.

Telgi's operation was vast and well-organized, involving corrupt officials, politicians, and law enforcement officers. He was eventually arrested in 2001, and after a lengthy trial, he was sentenced to multiple life imprisonments.

The web series, directed by Tushar Hiranandani, delves into Telgi's life, his rise from a modest background to becoming a notorious criminal, and the intricate details of how he orchestrated the scam. It also explores the socio-political environment of the time, shedding light on the corruption and loopholes in the system that allowed Telgi's scam to flourish.

"Scam 2003" is both a gripping crime drama and a cautionary tale about greed, corruption, and the devastating impact of financial fraud on society.
