“Stop, Think, Act” against digital arrest: PM Modi shares Mann ki Baat on cyber crimes
Narendra Modi on Sunday appealed to citizens in his monthly ‘Mann ki Baat’ broadcast to be wary while sharing steps that they should take to deal with the issue.
Modi said several people had asked him to speak on Digital Arrest, the term used for the cyber fraud menace where fraudsters make calls impersonating police personnel, or sleuths from CBI or Narcotics Control Bureau and at times the Reserve Bank of India to get information from unsuspecting people. The PM underlined that it is very important for people to understand this “dangerous game” and the modus operandi of the gangs.
“The First Move is that they collect all of your personal information… ‘You went to Goa last month, didn’t you? Your daughter studies in Delhi, right’? They collect so much information about you that you will be surprised,” he said.
The next move is to scare the person into sharing information or acting in haste.
“The Second Move is to create an atmosphere of fear… Uniform, government office set-up (as the background in the video call), (citing) legal sections… they will scare you so much on the phone… In the midst of the conversation, you will not be able to even think,” Modi said.
