The New Indian Express Vishakapatnam
|July 21, 2025
AS technology evolves, so do crimes. As cybercrime is on the rise in Karnataka, recent cases show people are losing their lives to what is being called "digital arrest".
In a recent case, a 30-year-old BESCOM contract employee died by suicide after falling prey to such a scam. In March, an elderly couple in Belagavi also ended their lives in similar circumstances. According to police data, 147 cases of digital arrest have been reported in Karnataka up to May this year, compared to 445 cases in 2023.
