Digital Arrests Are FAKE – But the Threat Is Real

Digital Arrests Are FAKE – But the Threat Is Real! 🚨

Cyber-crime is not just a technological issue — it is a human-driven attack on dignity, liberty, and peace of mind. With the surge in fake digital arrests, cyber fraudsters are exploiting fear to rob innocent citizens of their hard-earned money.

📱 As India rapidly embraces UPIs, online payments & digital platforms, the need for strong cyber laws and public vigilance has never been greater.

⚖️ What Is Cyber Law & Why Does It Matter?

Cyber Law governs activities in cyberspace — including the internet, mobile phones, computers, emails, ATMs, data storage devices, and digital platforms.

Cyber-crime includes fraud, impersonation, cyber bullying, stalking, sextortion, phishing, and identity theft — all rising at an alarming rate.

❌ What Is a “Digital Arrest”?

A Digital Arrest is NOT legal.

It is a scam where fraudsters pose as CBI, ED, RBI or Police officials, falsely accuse victims of serious crimes, and threaten arrest unless a “compliance amount” is paid.

🔔 The Ministry of Home Affairs and NCTAU have confirmed — there is NO legal provision for digital arrests.

📜 Laws That Protect You (India)

Cyber criminals can be prosecuted under:

✔️ Section 66-D, IT Act – Identity Theft

✔️ BNS 2023 – Cheating, Impersonation, Forgery & Criminal Intimidation

✔️ Sections 111, 204, 205, 318, 319, 336 & 351(4) BNS

⚖️ Supreme Court (2025) termed digital arrest scams an “assault on the dignity of the justice system” and directed strict action against offenders.

🛡️ Stay Safe. Stay Aware. Report Cyber Crime.

🔹 No authority arrests you over video calls

🔹 Never share OTPs or payment details

🔹 Verify before trusting

🔹 Report cyber fraud at cybercrime.gov.in

📢 Awareness is the strongest cyber defence.
