SC orders pan-India CBI probe into digital arrests
Mint Chennai
|December 02, 2025
The court issued a notice to RBI on why AI wasn't used to identify mule accounts
The Supreme Court on Monday asked the CBI to carry out a unified pan-India probe into digital arrest scam cases and asked the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) as to why it was not using artificial intelligence (AI) to find out and freeze bank accounts used by cyber criminals.
Digital arrest is a growing form of cybercrime in which fraudsters pose as law enforcement, court officials or personnel from government agencies to intimidate victims through audio and video calls. They hold the victims hostage and put pressure on them to pay money.
