<h1>Central agency to lead probes into nationwide 'digital arrest' frauds; states asked for FIR details and resources</h1> The Supreme Court indicated it is inclined to entrust the central investigative agency with probes into 'digital arrest' cases, citing their magnitude, pan-India spread and cross-border origins, and has issued notices to all states and union territories seeking FIR details. The court posted suo motu proceedings arising from a complaint by an elderly victim, directed the agency to submit a investigative plan and state resource needs (including non-police cyber experts), and said it will monitor progress and issue necessary directions. The bench emphasized coordinated central-state action to dismantle organized frauds that fabricate judicial or agency orders to extort substantial sums.
