Breaking the Silence on "Digital Arrests

​Lawshrine Trust is officially launching a nationwide awareness initiative to combat the rising tide of cyber-extortion. We believe that legal literacy is the most powerful weapon against those who use technology to weaponize fear.
​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.

​Spot the Red Flags

​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.

Lawshrine Trust’s Commitment

​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.

​Immediate Action Steps

​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.
