COLLABORATION KEY TO CURBING MENACE OF DIGITAL ARRESTS

The Morning Standard

November 07, 2025

YBER swindlers continue to be on the prowl across India, ever inventive in their subterfuge. Notwithstanding regular warnings from the Reserve Bank, commercial banks, and law enforcement agencies, legions of citizens fall prey with dispiriting regularity.

Fresh stratagems to defraud surface regularly, with the most lucrative one at present being the so-called 'digital arrest', in which impostors masquerade online as officers of the law and subject victims, often senior citizens, to a sustained psychological siege to rob them. Armed with sophisticated tools, these racketeers conjure convincing facsimiles of courtrooms and police stations until their targets surrender emotionally and transfer large sums for an 'official pardon' or 'bailout'.
