This article is published by The Legal Warning India and written by Advocate Uday Singh.
❓ Victim:
“Sir, bas ek OTP diya tha… paise sab udd gaye.”
⚖️ Advocate:
Yes. And that single OTP was enough to wipe out your savings.
Cyber criminals don’t need guns or masks anymore —
they only need your trust, fear, or curiosity.

Suspicious credits = Cyber Crime Hold.
