The Union government has ended the robocall awareness campaign led by actor Amitabh Bachchan to combat digital arrest scams, officials aware of the matter said on Thursday.
NEW DELHI:
The campaign was launched by the Union home ministry's Indian Cybercrime Coordination Centre (I4C) in collaboration with the Department of Telecommunications (DoT). The robocall campaign was launched soon after PM Narendra Modi raised the matter of digital arrest scams during his Mann Ki Baat address in October 2024.
