Digital Arrest Scam Targeting Bihar Students - Safety Guide 2026

"Digital Arrest" jaisi koi cheez legal system mein EXIST hi nahi karti. Scammers CBI, ED, Police ya Customs officer banke video call pe "arrest" ka darr dikhate hain aur paise loot lete hain. Bihar mein pichhle 3 mahino mein 100+ students is scam ke shikaar hue hain.

Quick Info

Scam Kaise Kaam Karta Hai?

• Pehla Call: "Main CBI/ED se bol raha hoon. Aapke Aadhar se drug parcel nikla hai, FIR ho chuki hai."
• Trust Build: Tumhara naam, Aadhar ke last 4 digits, college ka naam batate hain (social media/data breaches se milta hai).
• Video Call Pe "Arrest": Fake police station background, uniform pehne log. "Aap Digital Arrest mein hain. Phone mat kaatna. Kisi ko mat batao."
• Isolation: "Kisi ko batana mat, case sensitive hai." Students hostel mein akele hote hain, zyada vulnerable.
• Paisa Nikalna: Rs 10K-20K "account verification", Rs 50K-1L "bail processing", Rs 1L-3L "case closure." Jab tak paisa hai, naye bahane banate rehte hain.
