Digital arrest

Also known as: CBI call, customs parcel scam, police video call, money laundering case

Behavioural sequence

How the script progresses

1

Parcel or case allegation

  • Told a parcel in your name contains drugs or fake passports
  • Told your Aadhaar is linked to money laundering
2

Transferred to 'police'

  • Call handed to someone in uniform
  • Fake FIR, notice or ID card shown
3

Isolation enforced

  • Told not to tell family
  • Kept on continuous video call
  • Told you are under 'digital arrest'
4

'Verification' transfer demanded

  • Asked to move funds to an RBI or 'safe' account for verification

Likely next move

Parcel or case allegation

The call will be transferred to someone posing as police or CBI, often on video, in uniform.

Transferred to 'police'

They will forbid you from telling anyone and keep you on a continuous call so nobody can interrupt.

Isolation enforced

They will demand you transfer your balance to a 'safe' or 'RBI verification' account.

'Verification' transfer demanded

After the first transfer they will find a further 'case' and demand your deposits too.

Do not do this

  • No Indian police, CBI, ED or court arrests anyone over a video call. Digital arrest does not exist in law.
  • Do not stay on the call. Hang up and phone someone you trust.
  • No agency will ever ask you to transfer money for verification.
