Tackling the Rising Menace of "Digital Arrest" Cyber Crimes in India

Thrilled to share insights on a critical national cyber threat that’s rapidly gaining ground — the rise of “Digital Arrest”scams.

Today, Vinod Babu Bollikonda, CEO of Blue Cloud Softech Solutions Ltd (BCSSL), had the honor of being featured on ETV Prathidwani, where he discussed this alarming trend and emphasized the urgent need for a unified cyber defense strategy across India.

During the interview, Mr. Vinod Babu highlighted how these sophisticated cyber scams exploit fear and authority manipulation to trap victims — often impersonating law enforcement or government officials through video calls.

Key Takeaways from the Interview:

- Awareness is the First Line of Defense:

No legitimate law enforcement agency will ever arrest someone over a video call or demand money to “clear” their name.

- The Psychological Trap:

Cybercriminals prey on panic— the moment fear takes over, rational thinking fades, leading to financial and emotional harm. He also referenced the Hon’ble President of India, Smt. Droupadi Murmu, and the Supreme Court’s directivesurging the CBI and state police to coordinate closely — a decisive move toward dismantling these organized digital crime networks.

At Blue Cloud Softech Solutions Ltd, we remain deeply committed to cyber awareness, AI-driven threat detection, and strengthening national digital resilience to protect citizens, enterprises, and public institutions.

Cybersecurity is not just an IT issue — it’s a national security mission that demands awareness, collaboration, and proactive defense.
