Gagan Gupta shared, “Social media and dating apps have become inseparable from our lives.” While Gupta recognized the benefits of social media for artists, he also reflected on its more troubling consequences. “Social media offers convenience, from food to clothes delivered at your doorstep. But it also brings risks—meeting strangers, privacy threats, and even impacting family bonds,” Gupta explained.

Being a part of such a layered and gripping project has been incredibly rewarding, and I’m thrilled for audiences to experience it.”
"Swipe Crime" centers around a group of college students who become trapped in a dangerous web of fraud and blackmail. As they fall victim to manipulative online scams, they desperately attempt to escape the growing crisis. The series also shines a light on the devastating impact of cybercrime, which has destroyed countless lives across the country. Despite the widespread harm, lawmakers have failed to offer adequate support, leaving victims feeling abandoned and powerless.
"Swipe Crime” was released on Amazon MX Player on December 20.
