ED Files Charge Sheet, I4C Issues Advisory as Digital Arrest Scams Cost Victims Over ₹120 Crore, Including ₹6.6 Crore Loss

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has filed a charge sheet in connection with rising digital arrest scams, which have prompted the Indian government to issue a fresh advisory through the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C). These scams involve perpetrators falsely accusing victims of serious crimes, such as drug trafficking, and using psychological manipulation to extract money. Reports indicate that victims have lost over ₹120 crore in the first quarter of this year alone, with individual cases involving significant amounts, including ₹37.90 lakh and ₹6.6 crore. Experts warn that no global provisions exist for addressing digital arrests, urging individuals to report cybercrimes promptly. The situation has escalated with incidents of deep fake videos targeting prominent figures, further complicating the landscape of cybercrime in India.
