The minister said separate data on gaming apps or websites, marketing and investment fraud, fraud calls or vishing, and e-wallet or UPI fraud has been maintained only since 2024.
Kumar said the Ministry of Home Affairs has set up the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C) to tackle cyber crime in a coordinated manner.
The National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal enables citizens to report all types of cyber crime, while the Citizen Financial Cyber Fraud Reporting and Management System (CFCFRMS), launched in 2021, facilitates the immediate reporting of financial fraud to prevent the siphoning of funds.
The minister said cyber crime complaints, their conversion into FIRs, and subsequent action are handled by the respective state and Union Territory law enforcement agencies.
Listing measures taken to strengthen cyber policing, the minister said these include the Samanvay platform for data sharing and analytics, the Cyber Fraud Mitigation Centre, the Sahyog portal, Joint Cyber Coordination Teams, a cyber criminal suspect registry, the Cyber Commando Programme, National Digital Investigation Support Centres, a standard operating procedure for complaint handling, and nationwide public awareness campaigns.
