Mayajaal · Digital Arrest Garvit Sharma
You are one call away from losing everything.
They sound official. They show fake IDs. They know how to scare you. This is not a story — it is happening right now.
Every minute in India, someone receives a phone call that changes their life.
A fake CBI officer. A virtual courtroom. A "digital arrest" warrant. By the time the call ends, families have lost lakhs, careers have collapsed, and lives have been shattered.
Mayajaal: Digital Arrest takes you inside it. Through four real cases — anonymised but reconstructed in narrative detail — you will see how scammers profile their victims, how the script breaks even the most educated minds, and how families recover when the worst has happened.
This is not a book about being scared. It is a book about being ready.
Profiled, isolated and held under a fake investigation that stretched across six months — transaction after transaction, until almost nothing was left.

₹7 cr in 48 hours · recoveredOrdered to leave his own home and check into a hotel so the "investigation" could continue — the script weaponising obedience against him.
Isolated · controlled · trappedA story that ended in tragedy — and the clearest reason this book exists: awareness, shared in time, is the only real defence.
A warning we cannot ignoreBehind every call is a system: the data leaks that hand over your details, the organisational structure that runs the script, the tools, the geography, the economics. The book follows the money and the method all the way to its source.
A complete fortress, built layer by layer.
The second half of the book turns from threat to protection — a practical, step-by-step defence anyone can put in place, whatever their age or comfort with technology.
Exactly what to do, in order, the moment a call goes wrong — to stop the bleeding and give yourself the best chance of recovery.
A week-long, do-it-yourself plan to harden your phone, your money and your family against the entire playbook in this book.
Real Stories. Real Threats. Real Protection.
