“Digital arrest” is not a legal concept in India and has no legal validity. No authority can arrest anyone through calls or online messages. It is usually a scam. Do not share personal details or money. Block such contacts and report immediately on the Cyber Crime Portal or to local police. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
