India reported 16 Lakh cybercrime incidents since 2020
Union Minister of State for Home Nityanand Rai informed the Lok Sabha that more than 16 lakh cybercrime incidents have been reported in the country in the last three years and over 32,000 FIRs were registered.
So far, financial fraud transactions amounting to more than Rs 180 Crore have been saved. A toll-free Helpline number 1930 has been operationalised to get assistance in lodging online cyber complaints.
The minister said the ‘National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal’ (www.cybercrime.gov.in) allows easy reporting of all types of cybercrimes and the incidents reported on this portal are routed automatically to the respective State and UT law enforcement agency for further handling as per the provisions of law.
The minister further said that the ‘Citizen Financial Cyber Fraud Reporting and Management System’ has been launched for immediate reporting of financial frauds and to stop siphoning off funds by fraudsters.
