The Supreme Court of India will hear next week a suo motu case on rising digital arrest fraud, where scammers impersonate officials to extort victims. The Court earlier asked the Centre, Reserve Bank of India, banks and Department of Telecommunications to frame SOPs.
On Tuesday(10th Sept), The Bombay High Court warned the public against fraudsters impersonating judges or court officials to solicit money via calls or messages. The Court advised reporting such incidents to the police and highlighted that some messages and links are being falsely sent in the names of judicial officers.
