Supreme Court Urges New Laws for Digital Arrests and Deepfakes
The Supreme Court has urged the central government to consider creating new laws to define "digital arrest" as a separate criminal offense. The court emphasized the severity of crimes related to digital arrest and deepfakes, suggesting that bail should not be granted in such cases unless extraordinary grounds exist. This directive came during proceedings concerning cyber fraud. The court also recommended that the government consider making deepfakes a distinct criminal offense.
