Supreme Court of India was informed of a multi-agency crackdown on digital arrest scams involving regulators, RBI, CBI and tech firms. WhatsApp banned 9,400 linked accounts, strengthening cybercrime enforcement efforts.
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.
