Fraud Alert

Beware of "Digital Arrest" Scams

Fraudsters often impersonate police, CBI, or RBI officials over video calls, claiming you are under "Digital Arrest" for illegal activities. They then pressure you to transfer money to "secure" accounts.

Remember:

Government and Law Enforcement agencies NEVER use video calls for arrests and NEVER ask for money transfers during investigations. Stay calm and report immediately.
