The Bhubaneswar-Cuttack Police Commissionerate has issued a public advisory regarding the 'Digital Arrest' scam. Fraudsters pose as officials from agencies like CBI, ED, or police to intimidate people with fake criminal charges related to drugs or money laundering. They use video calls to keep victims under 'digital custody' and extort money using fake warrants. The police clarified that there is no legal provision for 'digital arrest' in India and advised citizens to report such incidents to the cybercrime helpline 1930.
