Recent reports highlight a surge in cyber fraud incidents in India, particularly involving a scheme termed 'Digital Arrest'. This scam has reportedly led to significant financial losses for victims. In one instance, an elderly woman was held captive for 13 days and scammed out of 80 lakh rupees. Additionally, a 24-year-old air hostess in Thane was defrauded of 10 lakh rupees by cybercriminals. The government has initiated measures to combat such fraud, including the I4C database aimed at preventing digital arrests. Public awareness campaigns are being launched to educate citizens about these scams and the tactics used by fraudsters, who often exploit fear and urgency to manipulate victims.
