“Police” and “Public Order” are State subjects as per the Seventh Schedule of the Constitution of India. The States/Union Territories (UTs) are primarily responsible for the prevention, detection, investigation and prosecution of crimes including cyber crime through their Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs). The Central Government supplements the initiatives of the States/UTs through advisories and financial assistance under various schemes for capacity building of their LEAs.

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:

1. 1. The Ministry of Home Affairs has set up the ‘Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre’ (I4C) as an attached office to deal with all types of cyber crimes in the country, in a coordinated and comprehensive manner.

1. 2. The ‘National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal’ (NCRP) (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.

1. 3. The ‘Citizen Financial Cyber Fraud Reporting and Management System’ (CFCFRMS), under I4C, has been launched in the year 2021 for immediate reporting of financial frauds and to stop siphoning off funds by the fraudsters. As per CFCFRMS operated by I4C, financial amount of more than Rs.5,489 Crore has been saved in more than 17.82 lakh complaints so far. A toll-free Helpline number ‘1930’ has been operationalized to get assistance in lodging online cyber complaints.

1. 6. The state of the art “National Cyber Forensic Laboratory (Investigation)’’ has been established, as a part of the I4C, at New Delhi to provide early stage cyber forensic assistance to Investigation Officers (IOs) of State/UT Police. So far, National Cyber Forensics Laboratory (Investigation) has provided its services to State/UT LEAs in around 12,460 cases pertaining to cyber crimes.

As per the available information, there are 605 District Mobile Units/labs in the country, these labs facilitates on-site examination and preservation of evidence, which aid the investigation process.

Inter-operable Criminal Justice System (ICJS) is facilitating the integration of the stand-alone IT systems (Crime and Criminal Tracking Network and Systems, e-Forensics, e-Prosecution, e-Courts and e-Prisons) towards seamless transfer of information between the pillars, to enhance data quality by reducing errors in data entry, increase effectiveness and timeliness in investigations, enable effective use of data analytics.
