CJI expresses concern as digital arrest scams trap educated victims

NEW DELHI: Chief Justice of India Surya Kant on Monday expressed surprise that despite public warnings in the wake of cases of ‘digital arrest’, many educated people continue to be trapped by scamsters and robbed of their life savings.When attorney general R Venkataramani informed the Supreme Court bench of CJI Kant and Justice Joymalya Bagchi that the inter-departmental task force to counter ‘digital arrest’ cybercrime will need three more weeks to formulate a robust mechanism, CJI said, “In the meanwhile, I have received another complaint from a former senior official of Chandigarh, who was robbed of Rs 2.5 crore through digital arrest.”Police have arrested seven persons for keeping the 70-year-old former chief architect of Chandigarh under digital arrest from May 3 to 30 last year. Venkataramani said he is pushing the inter-departmental committee to devise a robust anti-digital arrest mechanism in consultation with cyber experts and that govt intends to create a dedicated number to lodge complaints against threats of digital arrest.
