## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE FOR ELECTRONICS AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (SHRI JITIN PRASADA)

(a) to (d):The National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) compiles and publishes 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,  details  of  cases  registered  under  Cyber  Stalking/Bullying during 2018-2022 are at the Annexure-I and Annexure-II.

The policies of the Government are aimed at ensuring an Open, Safe &Trusted and Accountable Internet for its all users.'Police' and 'Public Order' are State subjects falling under the Seventh Schedule  to  the  Constitution  of  India.  The  States/UTs  are  primarily  responsible  for  the prevention,  detection,  investigation  and  prosecution  of  crimes  through  their  Law  Enforcement Agencies (LEAs). The LEAs take legal action as per provisions of law against persons involved in misuse of social media for cyber stalking and cyber harassment.

The Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (BNS) penalizes stalking with imprisonment of up to three years and fine on first conviction, and up to five years with fine on subsequent convictions. In addition to the punishments under BNS, the Information Technology Act, 2000 also provides for punishment for cyber crimes against women. Section 66E, 67 and 67A of the Act provides for the  punishment  and  fine  for  violation  of  bodily  privacy  and  publishing  or  transmitting  of obscene/ sexually-explicit material in electronic form.

The Government has established the 'Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre' (I4C) to provide a  framework  and  eco-system  for  LEAs  to  deal  with  cyber  crimes  in  a  comprehensive  and coordinated manner. The Government has launched the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal (www. cybercrime.gov.in)  on  30.08.2019  to  enable  public  to  report  all  types  of  cyber  crimes including  those  against  women.  Cyber  crime  incidents  reported  on  this  portal  are  routed automatically to the respective State/UT law enforcement agency for further handling as per the provisions of law.  Besides, a toll  free  helpline  number  '1930' has  been  operationalised  to  get assistance in lodging online cyber complaints.

To spread awareness about the Portal and Toll-free Helpline number, the Government has taken several steps that inter-alia includes dissemination of messages through SMS, I4C social media account, i.e., Twitter handle (@Cyberdost), Facebook (CyberDostI4C), Instagram (cyberdosti4c), Telegram (cyberdosti4c), Radio campaign, engaged MyGov for publicity through multiple  media,  organizing  Cyber  Safety  and  Security  Awareness  Weeks  in  association  with States/UTs, etc. The States/UTs have also been requested to carry out publicity of the Toll-free Helpline number and the Portal to create mass awareness.

The  Ministry  of  Home  Affairs  has  provided  financial  assistance  under  the  Cyber  Crime Prevention against Women and Children (CCPWC) Scheme, to all States/ UTs for setting up of cyber  forensic  -cum-training  laboratories;  hiring  of  junior  cyber  consultants  and  capacity building  of  Law  Enforcement  Agencies  (LEAs),  public  prosecutors  and  judicial  officers.  The Cyber forensic-cum-training laboratories have been commissioned in 28 States/UTs.

To strengthen the mechanism  to deal with cyber crimes including cyber fraud in a comprehensive and coordinated manner, the Central Government has taken effective steps for spreading awareness about cyber crimes, issuance of alerts/ advisories, capacity building/training of law enforcement personnel/ prosecutors/judicial officers, improving cyber forensic facilities, etc.

The 'Citizen Financial Cyber Fraud Reporting and Management System' has been launched for immediate reporting of financial frauds and to stop siphoning off fund by the fraudsters. A tollfree Helpline number '1930' has been operationalized to get assistance in lodging online cyber complaints.
