SC orders platforms to submit proposals for curbing digital arrest scams

The Supreme Court directed WhatsApp and other platforms to submit anti-scam proposals to I4C, and asked RBI to mandate banks to compensate cyber fraud victims where negligence is proven. The bench also sought FIR reports from state police chiefs. Cybercrimes fell 50%, yet victims lost ₹800 crore this year. The next hearing is set for November 23.
