The show, hosted by Gaurav Sawant, features expert insights from DCP Vinit Kumar, former Uttarakhand DGP Ashok Kumar, and cyber law expert Pavan Duggal. They discuss the modus operandi of such frauds and emphasize the ‘Brahmastra’ of disconnecting suspicious calls and reporting to the 1930 helpline.
