A new form of cybercrime known as ”digital arrest” has emerged, where fraudsters impersonate law enforcement officials and deceive their targets into believing that their Aadhaar card or SIM card or debit card or bank account has been used for criminal activities. The cyber frauds make the victim believe that they will be arrested soon, if they do not agree to be interrogated over video call.

This 'digital arrest' scam preys on fear and urgency. They exploit trust in authorities to manipulate victims into sharing personal info or access.
