Indian Polity

10 marks

Discuss the challenges posed by emerging forms of cybercrime such as "digital arrests" and suggest measures to strengthen India’s institutional response to such threats.

Tips for your answer

  • Start with Context + Definition: Begin by briefly explaining what digital arrests are, citing the Supreme Court’s recent suo motu action — this sets a strong, current-affairs-based introduction.
  • Analyze Multi-Dimensional Challenges: In the body, go beyond technology — include legal gaps, weak cyber-policing, cross-border nature of crimes, and psychological vulnerability (especially of senior citizens).
  • Conclude with Reforms & Way Forward: End with actionable solutions — strengthening CBI’s cyber units, cross-border cooperation, AI-based fraud detection, public awareness, and digital literacy campaigns.
