New Delhi, Nov 3 (UNI) The Supreme Court today expressed grave concern after being informed that nearly Rs 3,000 crore have been extorted from citizens through cyber frauds, particularly in so-called digital arrest scams, where victims are coerced into transferring money under threat of fabricated criminal action.
A Bench comprising Justice Surya Kant and Justice Joymalya Bagchi called for harsh and stringent measures to combat the rapidly growing menace.
“It’s shocking that almost Rs 3,000 crore has been collected from victims. And this is just in our country. If we don’t pass stringent orders, the problem will magnify. We will deal with this with iron hands,” the Bench observed.
