New Delhi: In Delhi, cyber fraudsters have defrauded people of about Rs 1000 crore so far this year by committing crimes like investment scam, digital arrest and boss scam. During the last year (2024), people had lost approximately Rs 1100 crore due to riots in the national capital, out of which only 10 percent of the amount could be kept safe in bank accounts.
Deputy Police Commissioner Vineet Kumar said, “We advise people to immediately report cyber crimes on the 1930 helpline. When the victim files a complaint and gives details of the money, we initiate the process of seizing the property to ensure that the money lost in the fraud remains in the bank account.”
Intelligence Fusion and Strategic Operations is the main cyber crime unit of Delhi Police. This unit plays an important role in registering complaints of victims, investigating and controlling cyber fraud. People are provided help through a 24-hour active helpline. With the cooperation of the police and banks, the victim’s money is deposited into the banking system itself. The amount can be returned to the victim only after the court orders.
According to the police, investment scam, digital arrest and boss scam are among the most prevalent and high-value cyber frauds in the year 2025.
