Modi Reviews Cyber Fraud Cases, Urges Targeted Prevention and Training

Prime Minister Narendra Modi reviewed cases involving online fraud.

Some of the cases involved scams called digital arrests.

In these scams, criminals may pretend to be police officers or government officials and threaten people with arrest.

Modi said it is important to stop fraud before it happens.

He asked officials to teach people about common tricks, warning signs and safe digital habits.

Special attention should go to older people, young people and other vulnerable groups.

He also said cybercrime workers need regular training.

This will help them recognize new scams and respond faster.
