Essential legal questions regarding Cyber Crime & Digital Fraud in India:
No. Government agencies (CBI, ED, Police, Customs, Supreme Court) NEVER conduct arrests, trials, or interrogations via Skype, WhatsApp, or video calls, nor do they ever ask citizens to transfer money to safe accounts. Digital arrest is 100% a cyber extortion scam.
