This special report investigates the surge of ‘digital arrest’ cyber fraud across India, a criminal tactic with devastating financial and personal consequences. The program highlights the case of former Punjab IGP Amar Singh Chahal, who is in critical condition after an alleged suicide attempt following an Rs 8 crore fraud. Cyber security experts and law enforcement officials detail the modus operandi of these international syndicates. Fraudsters impersonate police, CBI, or ED officers, using fake video calls to isolate and intimidate victims with the fabricated threat of a ‘digital arrest’. Former Uttarakhand DGP Ashok Kumar debunks this concept as a complete fabrication. The report explores solutions, including calls for the Reserve Bank of India to enforce stricter regulations like mandatory biometric KYC to combat the use of mule accounts for money laundering. Experts advise citizens to immediately disconnect suspicious calls.
