Rajasthan HC Rejects Bail in Cyber Fraud Case
The Rajasthan High Court rejected the bail plea of two people accused of cheating an elderly couple from Jodhpur out of Rs 2 crore through cyber fraud.
The court noted that cybercrimes are increasing, but the police are not well-equipped to handle them.
The court also gave important directions to prevent and investigate cybercrimes better.
These include setting up a new center for cybercrime control, hiring special officers to investigate cybercrimes, and making banks and financial institutions check suspicious transactions more carefully.
The court also asked for rules to be made to control phone and internet use for children under 16.
Additionally, the court advised regular checks on government digital transactions and creating a team to teach people about cyber safety.
Cybercriminals are using various methods like phishing, fake apps, and digital arrest scams to trick people.
It's important to stay aware and follow safety tips to protect yourself from these scams.
Rajasthan High Court rejected the bail plea of Adnan Haider and Rahul Jagdish Jadhav, accused of defrauding an elderly couple of Rs 2 crore.
The court noted a significant rise in cyber financial complaints from 26,049 in 2019 to 20,33,316 in 2024, with only a small percentage of fraud money being frozen.
Directives were issued to establish the Rajasthan Cyber Crime Control Centre (R4C) and recruit Special IT Inspectors for cybercrime investigation.
Banks and financial institutions were ordered to create a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for verifying suspicious transactions, especially involving elderly or vulnerable customers.
