Digital Arrest & Cyber Fraud Response Guide
Know your rights. Protect yourself. Act immediately.
Real police or CBI NEVER arrests you via a video call or WhatsApp. No Indian law allows "digital arrest." This is a psychological manipulation tactic.
No court, police station, or government body will ever demand instant payment via UPI, cryptocurrency, gift cards, or wire transfer to "resolve" a case.
Screenshot the call, save the phone number, note the time & what was said. Evidence is critical for filing an FIR. Use the QuantumShield Evidence Vault.
