We are resharing this important video featuring ADG @vishwasnangrepatil Sir (Anti-Corruption, Maharashtra Police), as cases of Digital Detention cybercrime continue to rise.
In this video, Sir explains how criminals are posing as senior officials from the Police, ED, or CBI and threatening innocent citizens with fake “online arrests.” These scammers often use WhatsApp or Skype video calls with staged backgrounds that resemble government offices to appear legitimate.

Please listen carefully. No genuine officer will ever ask you to transfer money from your bank account or threaten arrest over a video call.
If you or someone you know faces such a situation, report it immediately by calling 1930.

Stay Aware, Stay Safe.
Jai Hind, Jai Bharat

हम यह वीडियो दोबारा आपके साथ साझा कर रहे हैं क्योंकि डिजिटल डिटेंशन फ्रॉड के मामले लगातार बढ़ते जा रहे हैं।
इस वीडियो में अतिरिक्त पुलिस महासंचालक (एडीजीपी) विश्वास नांगरे पाटिल सर (एंटी करप्शन – महाराष्ट्र पुलिस) इस साइबर अपराध के बारे में बेहद महत्वपूर्ण जानकारी साझा कर रहे हैं।

धोखेबाज़ अपराधी खुद को पुलिस, ईडी या सीबीआई अधिकारी बताकर व्हाट्सएप या स्काइप वीडियो कॉल के ज़रिए लोगों को फर्जी “ऑनलाइन गिरफ्तारी” से डराते हैं। ये कॉल किसी सरकारी दफ्तर जैसे सेटअप से किए जाते हैं ताकि वे असली लगें।

कृपया सर की बात ध्यान से सुनें। कोई भी सच्चा अधिकारी कभी भी बैंक से पैसे ट्रांसफर करने के लिए नहीं कहेगा और न ही वीडियो कॉल पर गिरफ्तारी करेगा।
ऐसे किसी भी फ्रॉड की शिकायत तुरंत 1930 पर करें।

जय हिन्द, जय भारत

The post ADG Vishwas Nangre Patil Sir Cautions Against Digital Detention Fraud! appeared first on Akancha Srivastava Foundation.

ADG Vishwas Nangre Patil Sir (Anti-Corruption, Maharashtra Police) talks about an incredibly important topic to spread awareness in general population regarding cybercrime of “digital detention”.

‘Digital Detention’ explained in steps:

• Imagine if you suddenly received a call from someone posing as a senior police officer (could be a popular one who is often in the news), CBI, or ED saying that you are under investigation for illegal narcotics activity or money laundering.
• The call could also be an IVR saying that you are under investigation for an illegal activity prompting you to press further numbers to proceed. Thereby it sounds extremely professional, doesn’t raise any suspicion
• You could also be informed that a FedEx parcel containing drugs or illegal passports has been seized.
• It’s extremely scary for the victim at the time as the person on the phone does sound authoritative, they will share their badge number to gain your confidence
• Victim could also be traumatized by the caller claiming that your child/ loved one is involved in gruesome crime and the only way out is to answer the questions truthfully.
• You are immediately put into “digital detention/ online arrest” where you are subjected to strict interrogation online via Skype or WhatsApp calls, even on video, about your alleged involvement in criminal activities
• If on Skype video, the set-up is elaborate, right from the display profile picture to the malicious actor’s uniform, it does indeed look like police official’s office. He/ She will also be signing files, asking someone to get your papers, receive a call or two to establish authenticity.
• With deepfake technology, they can look like any of us senior officers. All logos are properly in place like Maharashtra Police, Delhi Police etc.
• They know your Aadhar card details, bank account details and in some cases even your shares/ MF/ demat account details. You are instructed to immediately liquify your investments and transfer all the money in to an “RBI” account until the investigation concludes
• You are prohibited from stepping out of your home, isolated, forbidden from contacting anyone, making calls, talking to family members, attending office or even stepping away from range of cameras from which you are being monitored 24×7. You are literally a prisoner in those confines
• This trauma is carried on for a period of few days until you are a wreck from psychological pressure plus your shares/investments are liquified & deposited into your savings account
• The moment you transfer the money into so called RBI account for safe keeping for duration of investigation, you have lost your entire life’s savings! This money is actually gone forever. By the time you get out of the shock, the trauma, the money is already transferred via a complex system of channeling via various different countries

100s of such cases of “digital detention” are emerging every single day. Very well-educated persons like Double doctorates, industrialists, journalists have fallen prey to these scams. Below this video, few of the links are posted.

Beware everyone, this scam is dangerous, it can drive you to the limits of your sanity. No senior police officer will ever ask you to transfer money to another account, none will use intimidation tactic to allegedly resolve a case involving your loved ones, nobody can stop you from speaking to your family/ lawyer or restrict you from stepping out of your own home.

Call 1930 within golden hour if you ever fall victim to such crime.

We thank ADG Vishwas Nangre Patil Sir for taking the time to address this critical topic for general awareness.

ADG Krishna Prakash Sir (Maharashtra Police) applauded the landmark Supreme Court judgment of September 23, 2024 which now makes viewing, storing child sexual exploitative and abuse material an offence under POCSO, IT Act.

A three-judge Bench headed by Chief Justice of India D.Y. Chandrachud said the sexual act was only the beginning of a child’s victimization.

“It continues through its recording, and perpetuates as photographs and videos that float through cyberspace, freely accessible to anyone who has the ability to surf the Internet… The knowledge that their abuse is being watched by countless strangers, sometimes years after the actual event, exacerbates the psychological wounds on top of the trauma that was already induced by the act in the first place. This perpetuating violation deprives the victim of any remaining hope or chance to heal, recover from the abuse and find closure,” Justice J.B. Pardiwala, who authored the 200-page judgment termed as ground-breaking by the Chief Justice, observed.

The Supreme Court urged the Parliament to “seriously consider” amending the POCSO Act to substitute the term “child pornography” with “Child Sexual Exploitative and Abuse Material” or CSEAM.

Source- https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/storing-and-viewing-child-sexually-exploitative-abuse-material-an-offence-under-pocso-supreme-court/article68672855.ece

Justice Pardiwala thanked the Chief Justice for the opportunity to pen this judgment. The order focused on Section 15 of the POCSO Act which lays down punishment for the storage of pornographic material involving children. “Any person who stores any pornographic material involving a child and fails to report or destroy it is punishable with a fine of not less than five thousand rupees., and repeat offence will be punishable with fine of not less than ten thousand rupees. If the material is stored for further transmitting or propagating, then along with fine, it is punishable with up to three years of imprisonment. For storing child pornographic material for commercial purpose is punishable with three to five years of imprisonment, and in subsequent conviction, up to seven years of imprisonment,” the Section says.

ADG Krishna Prakash Sir shares his concern on rehabilitating the child victims in a proper manner involving long term counselling, mental health support, reintegrating into society in appropriate measures. He states that children are our future, our country’s treasure, its our collective responsibility to protect them, nurture them, educate them, handhold them. Future of humanity depends on how we behave towards children today.

ADG Krishna Prakash Sir asks the hard question about how is it that human beings can ever treat children so inhumanly? What about our ethical, moral, base human values? How does it allow us to perform such violent acts? Its not just legally but very humanly impossible to imagine and perpetrators must be most severely punished.

Do watch this very compelling video & do the right thing by rejecting any such content, reporting it and protecting any child you see in need of it.

Stay Aware, Stay Safe.

Glad to share feedback of cybercrime investigation training conducted by ‘Akancha Srivastava Foundation’ for Pune Police on January 30th, 2024 at Cop Excellence Center of Pune City Police Commissioner Office. This training session was supported by SBI Foundation.

We trained the Pune City Police on cybercrime investigation on January 30th, 2024. Over 130 officials attended the expert investigation training including the Additional Commissioner of Police, DCP Cyber Cell, and several senior investigation officers.

Some of the participating officers have solved tricky cases of Bitcoin/ cryptocurrency in India. In an independent feedback process, and as you will see in the video too, these sharp officers praised our techniques and tools. That is definitely a huge validation for our content design. We make huge efforts before every training session to study that particular region, specific pain points, engage senior police officials in the process, review the content with concerned officer, train our investigators on specific need, rehearse the program flow before each session.

Hope to continue such police- public partnership as we have been doing for last 7 years.

Special thanks to Commissioner Sir, Pune City Police for tremendous opportunity.

The post PUNE POLICE CYBERCRIME INVESTIGATION TRAINING FEEDBACK #ASF appeared first on Akancha Srivastava Foundation.

‘Akancha Srivastava Foundation’ partnered with Haryana Police to spread awareness about #Dial112- Emergency Response Number And cyber safety.

We were invited by Bhiwani Police, Haryana to spread awareness about their powerful safety initiatives on ground especially for girls & children safety. Together we conducted back to back cyber safety awareness workshops as young adults/ children or even adults are addicted to internet today.

Delighted to share how wonderfully the girl students accepted the workshops, their takeaway & most importantly their courage! It is heart warming to listen that we were able to inspire them to stand up for themselves & speak up for themselves. These kids are all set to spread their wings and fly into the world towards their careers, new cities, new paths. We are thankful to have played a small role in handholding them in this journey. This is the kind of confidence we wish to keep fuelling in youth so that they can take a stand for themselves and for others. We are thankful to the students who trusted us with their personal stories, we are in touch with them to help in any way possible.

Having Bhiwani Police women police officers along with us has further raised the respect in our hearts for law enforcement. We got insights into how hard they work in the region, listen to victims with compassion & with a stern hand when dealing with a criminal. Grateful to such committed, dedicated police personnel who are in service of the nation 24×7.

Let us tell you some more about  #Dial112 emergency response number -a fantastic set up especially for girls who can download this app and fill their basic information which allows police to track their location.

All e rickshaws in Bhiwani have been given a unique ID and their driver’s details registered with the Police. In case of any such situation where a girl is feeling unsafe during travel, she simply has to Dial 112 and trigger emergency response. Patrol cars reach the victim within minutes with this ‘trip management service’. They even double check to ensure that the caller has reached their destination safely. Additionally Bhiwani Police has deployed women Police personnel in plain clothes at ‘hot spots’ & ‘hot routes’.

These spots cover entrances of schools & colleges, shopping malls, bus stations, train stations, public parks, food courts, popular travel routes. These personnel immediately intervene at any sign of harassment.

Our Foundation was glad to be invited to be a part of this initiative where we educated thousands of young students across school & colleges about cyber safety and Bhiwani Police measures. Enriching experience for us to witness this change within interiors of the country. We hope to continue this police public, knowledge partnership for long term social change as we have been doing for last many years.

Heartfelt thanks to Bhiwani Police, Haryana Police for giving us this opportunity.

We addressed 2500+ children on day 1 at the beautiful Halwasiya Vidya Vihar school. Extremely encouraging participation, enthusiasm and the open mindedness of children gives us tremendous hope. At the Foundation we have always maintained that children today are very bright and all they need is our handholding. We need to speak to them in all honesty and become good examples of what we preach.

Thankful to Vimal Acharya Sir, the Principal, all teachers but especially children who   showered us with so much love. Our Founder Ms Akancha Srivastava is a huge favorite with children. Her genuine affection & ability to convey the trickiest message in simplest form has always worked wonders with adults & children alike. As you will see in this video as well.

ADG Krishna Prakash Sir (Force One, Maharashtra Police) strongly recommends habit of reading for a richer understanding or history, better vocabulary, confidence and overall personality development.

ADG Krishna Prakash Sir also believes that one needs to read every single day whether it’s literature, poetry, current affairs or even a comic book. He shares his own life story when his father encouraged his reading habit and requested Sir’s mother to allow him to read as he wishes during summer holidays even if it was comics. Even Google today has excellent resources on free reads.

Scientifically, it has been proven that reading books increases our attention span, ability to focus. It also enhances imagination & free thinking. Knowledge earned via any reading is never wasted. It remains in our subconscious woven together like a shield of wisdom that protects during the time when its needed.

We thank ADG Krishna Prakash Sir for this valuable insight. We thank Sir for his service to the nation. Jai Hind, Jai Bharat!
