The Reality of “Digital Arrest”
A “Digital Arrest” is a sophisticated scam where criminals impersonate high-ranking officials from agencies like the CBI, ED, or State Police. They use high-pressure video calls to place victims under “virtual custody,” claiming they are suspects in money laundering or illegal parcel cases.
Financial Settlement: Any demand for money to “settle” a case or provide “bail” over a call is a 100% confirmation of a scam.
Forced Secrecy: Scammers will insist you stay in a locked room and tell no one. Real officials encourage legal representation and transparency.
Fake Credentials: Do not be fooled by uniforms, official-looking office backgrounds, or digital “warrants” sent via chat apps.
The Medium: Genuine law enforcement will never conduct an arrest or investigation via WhatsApp, Skype, or Zoom.
We are here to ensure that no citizen has to face these threats alone. Our campaign focuses on:
Direct Legal Guidance: Providing clarity on actual legal procedures so you can distinguish a real summons from a scam.
Reporting Assistance: Empowering victims to instantly report incidents to the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal (1930) or www.cybercrime.gov.in. Community Defense: Building a network of informed individuals who can protect their elderly family members and peers from these psychological traps. Lawshrine Trust Undertaking: We pledge to serve as a shrine of justice, transforming digital fear into legal empowerment. The law is your shield—let us show you how to use it.
Hang Up: If a caller demands you stay on a video call under threat of arrest, disconnect immediately.
Verify: Call your local police station or the official agency number directly.
Report: Documentation is key. Save screenshots of the caller’s ID and number.
