PM Modi warned about Digital Arrest
Prime Minister Modi said about the fraudsters of digital arrest that their first trick is that they collect all your personal information. Their second trick is to create an atmosphere of fear. They will scare you so much on phone calls that you will not be able to think anything. After this, the fraudsters create so much psychological pressure by making an excuse of lack of time that the person gets scared and becomes a victim of digital arrest.
