Chief Justice of India Surya Kant on Monday (April 20, 2026) flagged digital arrest scams as the “most disturbing” and lethal among cyber crimes which not only result in merely financial loss to victims but also a “blistering sense of violation”.
The CJI said such cyber crimes must not be seen as mere economic offences but an offence against human dignity.
