There is no such thing as a “digital arrest” in India.
3.2m views | Uttar Pradesh, India | Aug 31, 2026 A call from a fake police or CBI officer can make you panic, but remember: there is no such thing as a “digital arrest” in India. Scammers may use fear, fake identities and urgent payment demands to make you follow their instructions. • Police or CBI officers do not conduct investigations through WhatsApp video calls • Never share OTPs, banking details or money for “verification” • Do not trust a WhatsApp profile picture, uniform or caller ID as proof of identity • If you receive such a call, disconnect and verify through official channels If you face cyber fraud, report it immediately by calling 1930 or visiting cybercrime.gov.in. #CyberDost #DigitalArrest #CyberAwareness #CyberFraud #OnlineSafety #StayAlert
