## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HOME AFFAIRS (SHRI BANDI SANJAY KUMAR)

(a) to (h) : '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  and prosecution of crimes including cyber crime through their Law Enforcement  Agencies.  Sufficient  provisions  are  available  under  the Information Technology Act, 2000, the Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 and Protection  of  Children  from  Sexual  Offences  Act,  2012  (POCSO  Act)  to deal with cyber crime in the country. 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 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 2022. As per the data published by the  NCRB,  State/UT  wise  details  of  cases  registered,  cases  chargesheeted, cases convicted, persons arrested, persons charge-sheeted and persons convicted under cyber crimes (involving communication devices as  medium/target)  during  the  period  from  2020  to  2022  are  at  the Annexure-I.   NCRB collects only cases registered at District level. As per the  data  published  by  the  NCRB,  District-wise  cases  registered  under cyber crimes (involving communication devices as medium/target) in the States of  Uttar  Pradesh,  Chhattisgarh  and  Himachal  Pradesh during  the period from 2020 to 2022 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:

- ii. The 'National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal' (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 this portal, their conversion into FIRs and subsequent action thereon are handled by the  State/UT  Law  Enforcement  Agencies  concerned  as  per  the provisions of the law.

- The  'Citizen  Financial  Cyber  Fraud  Reporting  and  Management System', under I4C, has been launched in year 2021 for immediate reporting of financial frauds and to stop siphoning off funds by the fraudsters. So far, financial amount of more than Rs. 3431 Crore has been saved in more than 9.94 lakh complaints. A toll-free Helpline number '1930' has been operationalized to get assistance in lodging
- iii. online cyber complaints.
- iv. I4C proactively identify and blocked more than 1700 Skype IDs and 59,000 Whatsapp accounts used for Digital Arrest.
- v. The  Central  Government  has  published  a  Press  Release  on  Alert against incidents of 'Blackmail' and 'Digital Arrest' by Cyber Criminals  Impersonating  State/UT  Police,  NCB,  CBI,  RBI  and  other Law Enforcement Agencies.
- vi. Till 15.11.2024, more than 6.69 lakhs SIM cards and 1,32,000 IMEIs as reported by Police authorities have been blocked by Government of India.
- The Central Government and Telecom Service Providers (TSPs) have devised  a  system  to  identify  and  block  incoming  international mobile  numbers  appear  to  be originating within India. Such international spoofed calls have been made  by  cyber-criminals  in  recent  cases  of  fake  digital  arrests, FedEx scams, impersonation as government and police officials, etc. Directions  have  been  issued  to  the  TSPs  for  blocking  of  such
- vii. spoofed  calls displaying Indian incoming international spoofed calls.
- viii. To spread awareness on cyber crime, the Central Government has taken  steps  which,  inter-alia,  include;  dissemination  of  messages through  SMS,  I4C  social  media  account  i.e.  X  (formerly  Twitter) (@CyberDost),  Facebook(CyberDostI4C),  Instagram  (cyberDostI4C), Telegram(cyberdosti4c),   Radio   campaign,   engaged   MyGov    for

- publicity in multiple mediums, organizing Cyber Safety and Security Awareness  weeks  in  association  with  States/UTs,  publishing  of Handbook  for  Adolescents/Students,  digital  displays  on  railway stations and airports across, etc.
- ix. The  Central  Bureau  of  Investigation  (CBI)  participates  in  various regional and international cyber crime cooperation initiatives led by Interpol, fostering collaboration with global LEAs to address crossborder cyber crime challenges.
- x. The  CBI  serves  as  the  nodal  point  in  India  for  data  preservation requests, sending and receiving such requests through the G7 24/7 network to ensure the timely and secure exchange of cyber crime related data.
- xi. The  National  Central  Bureau  (NCB)  in  CBI  acts  as  a central coordination agency, facilitating the collection and dissemination of cyber crime information through Interpol channels.
