Cybercrime: A Threat to the Common Man

At the heart of Fateh lies a pressing social issue: cybercrime. Sonu Sood emphasized how scams like deepfakes and instant loan apps often target the most vulnerable sections of society.

Creating Awareness Among the Masses

Sonu believes that education plays a vital role in tackling cybercrime. He stated, "In schools and colleges, it has to be brought to notice—these scams that are happening around us.
