Newspoint
NEW DELHI: Supreme Court on Monday said it is against grant of bail to anyone accused of being part of digital arrest scams, except when they point out "extraordinary grounds" which warrant their release from custody.

Sending out a message to HCs and trial courts, a bench of CJI Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and V Mohana said, "Digital arrest scams are worst kind of crime against people, especially senior citizens whose life savings and hard-earned money are fraudulently siphoned out when they need it the most."
