Cyber Crime Digital Arrest: Kya Police WhatsApp Par Arrest Kar Sakti Hai?
Aajkal hazaron logon ko WhatsApp par message ya video call aa raha hai jisme khud ko Police, Cyber Crime Officer, CBI ya ED bataya jaata hai. Call karne wala seedha bolta hai:
“Aap digital arrest me ho. WhatsApp par hi inquiry hogi.”
Is wajah se log ghabra jaate hain, paisa transfer kar dete hain ya kisi se baat bhi nahi karte.
Lekin sawal ye hai:
Kya Police WhatsApp Par Arrest Kar Sakti Hai?
Seedha aur clear jawab hai – Nahi.
India ke kisi bhi kanoon me WhatsApp arrest ya Digital Arrest ka koi concept nahi hai.
Agar koi WhatsApp par arrest bol raha hai, to ye 100% cyber fraud hone ke chances bahut zyada hain.
Digital Arrest Kya Hai? (Simple Language Me)
Digital arrest ek fake term hai jo cyber criminals ne banayi hai. Iska use karke wo:
- Police ka darr paida karte hain
- Victim ko isolate kar dete hain
- Turant paisa transfer karwane ka pressure banate hain
Ye legal process nahi, balki ek planned online scam hota hai.
Fraudsters WhatsApp Par Kaise Trap Karte Hain?
Is scam ka common pattern hota hai:
- WhatsApp video call ya voice call aata hai
- Police uniform, fake ID ya logo dikhaya jaata hai
- Bola jaata hai aapka naam kisi parcel scam / pornography / money laundering case me hai
- Threat diya jaata hai: “Abhi cooperate nahi kiya to jail.”
Phir settlement, fine ya verification ke naam par UPI / bank transfer maanga jaata hai.
Indian Law Me Arrest Ka Real Process Kya Hai?
Legal arrest ka process bilkul clear hai:
- Arrest physical presence me hota hai
- Written notice ya warrant hota hai
- Arrest memo banana mandatory hota hai
- Family member ko inform kiya jaata hai
WhatsApp, Zoom, Skype ya video call se arrest legally possible nahi hai.
Agar WhatsApp Par Police Call Aaye To Kya Karein?
✔ Call Cut Karein
Discussion ya explanation dene ki koi zarurat nahi.
✔ Paisa Bilkul Transfer Na Karein
Police kabhi personal account ya UPI par paisa nahi maangti.
✔ Evidence Save Karein
Number, screenshots, call recording – sab preserve karein.
✔ Cyber Complaint Karein
1930 helpline ya cyber crime portal par complaint register karein.
Agar Pehle Se Paisa Chala Gaya Ho?
Agar aap already scam ka shikar ho chuke hain:
- Turant apne bank ko inform karein
- Transaction details share karein
- Cyber complaint acknowledgement lein
Delay karne se recovery ke chances bahut kam ho jaate hain.
