PM Modi told the truth about digital arrest
Discussing this in the Mann Ki Baat program, PM Modi said, “Fraudsters calling to do digital arrest scam often call by pretending to be big officials (fake) like Police, CBI, Narcotics, RBI etc. All these fake officials talk with great confidence.” The PM said, “The first trick of such fraudsters is to know your 'personal information'. They already collect complete information about you, like – you went to Goa last month, your daughter studies in Delhi etc.”

The PM said, “The second trick of such fraudsters is to create an 'atmosphere of fear' in the mind of the victim. For this, they will scare you so much over the phone through fake uniform, setup of government office, legal sections etc. that you will not think anything. “You just won't be able to.” PM Modi further said, “The third trick of such fraudsters is to put 'time pressure'. They say that you have to decide now, otherwise we will have to arrest you. He told that, these people have such psychological pressure on the victim. “We put pressure on him so much that he gets scared.” PM Narendra Modi further said, “The victims of digital arrest include people of every age and every class. Due to such fear, many people have lost lakhs of rupees earned by their hard work.”
