The awareness drive comes after a retired employee from Vetapalem village under the Tsundur police station limits lost approximately Rs 74 lakh to cyber criminals who used digital arrest tactics to intimidate and extort money.
The case was successfully solved by the Bapatla district police, leading to the arrests of accused persons from other states.
There is no such thing as digital arrest in Indian laws, he stated, urging citizens not to respond to such fraudulent video calls.
The campaign addresses multiple cybercrime categories, including PM-KISAN app APK file frauds, investment scams, fake loan apps, fraudulent websites, banking frauds, and social media deceptions.
The SP announced plans to conduct awareness programmes in schools, colleges, and other essential locations across the Bapatla district.
