India Implements Automated FIR System to Accelerate Cyber Fraud InvestigationsPreviousNext

The Indian government is enhancing cybercrime response by implementing an automated e-Zero FIR system for cyber fraud cases involving losses of Rs 5 lakh or more, linking national platforms for faster complaint registration and investigation. States like Gujarat and cities such as Pimpri-Chinchwad have adopted this system to reduce delays and improve recovery chances. Meanwhile, police in Mathura have conducted raids against organized cyber fraud networks, arresting dozens amid rising cybercrime concerns across regions.
