Jaldi karo

Video call par koi bol raha hai ki main 'digital arrest' mein hoon. Kya ye sach hai?

Simple answer

Nahi. Indian law mein 'digital arrest' jaisi koi cheez nahi hai. Police, CBI, ED, customs ya judge video call par kisi ko arrest nahi karte, na hi 'naam clear karne' ke liye paise maangte hain. Ye scam hai. Call kaato aur 1930 par report karo.

Real-life examples

Pune ke 68 saal ke Suresh ji ko call aaya ki unke naam ke parcel mein drugs mile hain. Video par police uniform mein ek aadmi ne kaha ki woh 'digital arrest' mein hain aur checking ke liye savings 'safe account' mein bhejein. Suresh ji ne call kaata, beti ko bataya aur Chakshu par number report kiya.

Ayesha 6 ghante video call par rahi aur fake pata chalne se pehle ₹3 lakh bhej chuki thi. Usne turant 1930 par call kiya, taaki police paisa freeze karwane ki koshish kar sake. Yahan woh victim hai, accused nahi.

Aapko kya karna chahiye?

1Call kaat do. Paise mat bhejo, OTP, Aadhaar ya bank details mat batao, aur unke kehne par koi app install mat karo.
2Khud check karo: apne local thane ya 112 par woh number lagao jo aapne khud dhoondha ho, caller ka diya hua nahi.
3Agar koi paisa de diya hai, toh turant 1930 par call karo aur transaction details ke saath cybercrime.gov.in par complaint karo.
4Paisa na gaya ho tab bhi, caller ka number ya WhatsApp ID Chakshu (Sanchar Saathi) par report karo.
5Family mein kisi ko batao. Scammers chup rehne aur camera ke saamne baithe rehne ko kehte hain — kisi se baat karte hi unka dar toot jaata hai.

Exceptions aur zaroori baatein

Police aur court asli notice ya summons bhej sakte hain, kabhi-kabhi electronically bhi. Inhe seedha thane ya court se verify karo. Asli notice haazir hone ko kehta hai — 'safe account' mein paise bhejne ko kabhi nahi.
