Pune, (Maharashtra) [India], February 12, 2025: Rest The Case, a notable legal platform recently conducted an influential panel discussion addressing the topic “Digital Arrest: Legal Challenges in the Age of Cyber Enforcement.” The event assembled prominent legal experts to discuss the concept of digital arrest within the Indian legal system, exploring both legal and societal dimensions of the topic.
The panel featured Adv. Madhav Shankar (Managing Partner, Oratum Legal), Adv. Gaurav Ghosh (Co-Founder, DLC Law Chambers), Adv. Saurabh Sharma (Head, JSSB Legal), and Adv.

Together, they shared their insights surrounding digital arrests and focused on the need for robust infrastructure, policy alignment, and capacity building.
Shreya Sharma, the Founder and Director of Rest The Case, emphasized the urgent need for a structured legal framework to address digital arrest scams, as current laws do not explicitly define or regulate such cases.
