Jaipur, July 24: Rajasthan Police’s new initiative to tackle cyber fraud has shown immediate results, with seven E-Zero FIRs registered within the first 18 hours of the system’s implementation.
The initiative has been launched under the direction of Director General of Police (DGP) Rajeev Kumar Sharma to ensure faster action in cyber fraud cases involving amounts between Rs 1 lakh and Rs 5 lakh.
Faster Action Through E-Zero FIR
According to Rajasthan Police, a total of 460 E-Zero FIRs have been registered so far, marking a significant step towards providing quicker relief to victims of cyber fraud.
The new system, introduced under the directions of DGP Rajeev Kumar Sharma, enables prompt registration and action in cyber fraud cases involving Rs 1 lakh or more.
Integrated System to Speed Up Investigation
Additional Director General (Cyber Crime) V. K. Singh said the implementation of the new mechanism has accelerated police action against cyber crime.
Under the new arrangement, complaints lodged through the 1930 cyber helpline will be integrated with the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C)’s National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal (NCRP) and the Crime and Criminal Tracking Network and Systems (CCTNS), allowing complaints to be forwarded to the concerned police station more quickly.
Faster Relief for Victims
The new process is expected to reduce delays caused by police station jurisdiction, enabling quicker registration of cases and faster action.
Rajasthan Police said the initiative will also improve efforts to freeze fraudulently transferred money and facilitate its recovery for victims.
Police Appeal
Rajasthan Police has appealed to the public to immediately call the 1930 cyber helpline if they become victims of cyber fraud. The department said that reporting the incident promptly increases the chances of freezing and recovering the lost money.
