There is growing concern about digital fraud

The incident is part of a wider trend of digital fraud targeting Indian users. Fraud schemes, from phishing attempts to remote screen access, are becoming increasingly sophisticated. Among the most common are scams involving fake police officers.

These callers often ask for sensitive information such as bank details or Aadhaar numbers under the guise of identity verification. Victims are forced to pay fines or wire money to avoid potential lawsuits.
