Lucknow police are emphasizing multi-channel reporting and awareness campaigns to combat rising cyber fraud, including 'digital arrests' and AI voice/video spoofing. Officials advise independent verification via official helplines, not the caller's number, and caution against fear tactics. A recent rescue involved preventing a ₹1.3 crore fraud against a 75-year-old woman who was under digital arrest for four days. Proactive blocking of suspicious accounts through shared threat intelligence is also encouraged.
