Responding to Deepak Saraswat’s questions about corporate fraud, Deepak Kumar claimed that nearly 59% of Indian companies have faced some form of corporate fraud.

According to him, financial transactions, documents and digital records can play a crucial role in investigating such cases.

Discussing cybercrime and UPI fraud, Deepak Kumar stressed that quick reporting is crucial after a digital fraud incident. He advised people to avoid suspicious applications, be careful while sharing personal information and keep their devices and security features updated.
