New Delhi, Dec. 2 -- The Supreme Court on Monday granted CBI sweeping powers to probe digital arrest scam cases across the country, directing states and Union territories to grant sanction to the federal agency to probe such cases in their jurisdictions. The court also allowed CBI to act against complicit bank staff and get information from social media intermediaries and telecom operators to net culprits. A bench of CJI Surya Kant and justice Joymalya Bagchi also sought the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) response on implementing AI or machine-learning technology to identify and freeze bank accounts used by cyber criminals.P9
