CYBER CRIME POLICE STATIONS
Posted On: 11 MAR 2026 4:26PM by PIB Delhi
The Bureau of Police Research and Development (BPR&D) compiles and publishes the statistical data on
cyber crime police stations in its publication “Data on Police Organizations”. As per the data published by
the BPR&D, State/UT-wise detail of the cyber crime police stations, as on 01.01.2024 is at Annexure-I.
The States/UTs set up the police stations as per requirement.
‘Police’ and ‘Public Order’ are State subjects as per the Seventh Schedule of the Constitution of India. The
States/UTs are primarily responsible for the prevention, detection, investigation, complaint reporting,
recovery actions, victim support systems, prosecution of crimes including cyber fraud and establishing and
strengthening of cyber crime police stations, through their Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs). The
Central Government supplements the initiatives of the States/UTs through advisories and financial
assistance under various schemes for capacity building of their LEAs.
The Central Government has advised States from time to time to establish ‘State Cyber Crime
Coordination Centre’ (S4C) in lines of ‘Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre’ (I4C) for seamless
exchange of cyber crime threat information with I4C.
The National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) compiles and publishes the statistical data on crimes in its
publication “Crime in India”. The latest published report is for the year 2023. As per the data published by
the NCRB State/UT wise details of cases registered, cases charge-sheeted, cases convicted, persons
arrested, persons charge-sheeted and persons convicted under cyber crimes (involving communication
devices as medium/target) during the period from 2021 to 2023 are at the Annexure-II.
To strengthen the mechanism to deal with cyber crimes in a comprehensive and coordinated manner, the
Central Government has taken steps which, inter-alia, include the following:
i. The Ministry of Home Affairs has set up the ‘Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre’ (I4C)
as an attached office to deal with all types of cyber crimes in the country, in a coordinated and
comprehensive manner.
ii. The ‘National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal’ (NCRP) (https://cybercrime.gov.in) has been
launched, as a part of the I4C, to enable public to report incidents pertaining to all types of
cyber crimes, with special focus on cyber crimes against women and children. Cyber crime
incidents reported on National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal, their conversion into FIRs and
subsequent action i.e. filing of chargesheets, arrest and resolution of complaints, thereon are
handled by the State/UT Law Enforcement Agencies concerned as per the provisions of the
law.
iii. The ‘Citizen Financial Cyber Fraud Reporting and Management System’ (CFCFRMS), under
I4C, has been launched in year 2021 for immediate reporting of financial frauds and to stop
siphoning off funds by the fraudsters. As per CFCFRMS operated by I4C, till 31.01.2026,
financial amount of more than Rs. 8,690 Crore has been saved in more than 24.65 lakh
complaints. A toll-free Helpline number ‘1930’ has been operationalized to get assistance in
lodging online cyber complaints.iv. A State of the Art, Cyber Fraud Mitigation Centre (CFMC) has been established at I4C where
representatives of major banks, Financial Intermediaries, Payment Aggregators, Telecom
Service Providers, IT Intermediaries and representatives of States/UTs Law Enforcement
Agency are working together for immediate action and seamless cooperation to tackle
cybercrime.
v. Till 31.01.2026, more than 12.94 lakhs SIM cards and 3.03 lakhs IMEIs as reported by Police
authorities have been blocked by Government of India.
vi. Application Programming Interface (API) integration between the Banks and CFCFRMS module of
NCRP has been implemented. It enables real-time communication and exchange of information,
data updation and consequent action of lien marking. This proactive approach helps in reducing the
chances of funds being transferred or withdrawn out of the financial ecosystem. This integration
enhances secure and efficient exchange of suspect data between the I4C and various
Banks/Financial Institutions.
vii. API integration has been implemented between Sanchar Saathi and NCRP for sharing suspect
identifiers reported on NCRP with Department of Telecommunication (DoT) so as to ensure real-
time action by Telecommunications Service Providers. This API facilitates sharing of suspected
mobile numbers reported on NCRP with DoT and fetching of report from DOT on action taken
against the number shared.
viii. I4C, MHA is regularly organising ‘State Connect’, ‘Thana Connect’ and Peer learning session to
share best practices, enhance capacity building, etc.
ix. The state of the art National-Digital Investigation Support Centre (previously known as National
Cyber Forensic Laboratory (Investigation) {NCFL(I)}) has been established, as a part of the I4C, at
New Delhi (on 18.02.2019) and at Assam (on 29.08.2025) to provide early stage cyber forensic
assistance to Investigating Officers (IOs) of State/UT Police. Till 31.01.2026, National-Digital
Investigation Support Centre, New Delhi has provided its services to State/UT LEAs in more than
13,417 cases pertaining to cyber crimes.
x. The Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC) platform, namely ‘CyTrain’ portal has been developed
under I4C, for capacity building of police officers/judicial officers through online course on critical
aspects of cyber crime investigation, forensics, prosecution etc. Till 31.01.2026, more than 1,51,081
police officers/judicial officers from States/UTs are registered and more than 1,42,025 Certificates
issued through the portal.
xi. A Suspect Registry of identifiers of cyber criminals has been launched by I4C on 10.09.2024 in
collaboration with Banks/Financial Institutions. Till 31.01.2026, more than 23.05 lakh suspect
identifier data received from Banks and 27.37 lakh Layer 1 mule accounts have been shared with
the participating entities of Suspect Registry and declined transactions worth Rs. 9518.91 crores.
xii. Seven Joint Cyber Coordination Teams (JCCTs) have been constituted for Mewat, Jamtara,
Ahmedabad, Hyderabad, Chandigarh, Vishakhapatnam, and Guwahati under I4C covering the
whole country based upon cyber crime hotspots/ areas having multi jurisdictional issues by
onboarding States/UTs to enhance the coordination framework among the Law Enforcement
Agencies of the States/UTs.
xiii. Samanvaya Platform has been made operational to serve as an Management Information System
(MIS) platform, data repository and a coordination platform for LEAs for cybercrime data sharing
and analytics. It provides analytics based interstate linkages of crimes and criminals, involved in
cybercrime complaints in various States/UTs. The module ‘Pratibimb’ maps locations of criminals
and crime infrastructure on a map to give visibility to jurisdictional officers. The module also
facilitates seeking and receiving of techno-legal assistance by Law Enforcement Agencies from I4Cand other SMEs. It has lead to arrest of more than 21,857 accused and more than 1,49,636 Cyber
Investigation assistance request.
xiv. A comprehensive Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) has been issued by the Central Government
on 2nd January 2026. It provides a uniform, victim-centric framework for handling complaints
through the National Cybercrime Reporting Portal (NCRP) and Citizen Financial Cyber Fraud
Reporting and Management System (CFCFRMS). The Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for
NCRP-CFCFRMS outlines a dedicated Coordination Mechanism to enhance collaboration,
particularly with States and Union Territories, whose police agencies are integral stakeholders in the
system.
