Over 17,000 cybercrime complaints in two years, but only 244 FIRs registered
Chandigarh recorded an alarming 17,075 cybercrime complaints in the past two years, with the total financial losses amounting to a staggering Rs 95 crore, of which only Rs 14.86 crore, less than 16 per cent, was recovered, disclosed the Chandigarh Cyber Crime Police in an RTI reply, raising serious concerns about the effectiveness of existing investigative mechanisms. According to official data, compiled for the period between April 2023 and March 2025, a total of 17,075 complaints were filed, 244 FIRs were registered, and 200 arrests were made, indicating a large number of complaints never progressed to the FIR stage. The data further reveals a consistent rise in the cases of online cheating, phishing, UPI scams, fake job offers and other forms of financial cybercrimes. March 2024 recorded the highest monthly loss, with over Rs 7.97 crore defrauded, followed by February 2024 (Rs 6.26 crore) and May 2024 (Rs 6.24 crore). However, the recovery continues to remain low. February 2025 saw the highest monthly recovery of Rs 2.58 crore, followed by Rs 1.31 crore in January 2025 and Rs 1.04 crore in March 2024. The data also highlights a trend of low FIR registration vis-à-vis the number of complaints. For instance, 923 complaints were received in July 2024, yet only 26 FIRs were registered. In August 2024, out of 864 complaints, just 6 FIRs were filed. Despite the low number of FIRs, arrests were made in several months — 13 in July 2023, 14 in September 2024, and 11 in December 2024. 'The rise in cybercrime is due to the increasing use of digital payments and the internet in daily life, coupled with a lack of awareness among users,' said Ram Kumar Garg, an RTI activist and the president of Second Innings Association. 'Amount-wise and category-wise, the number of frauds is increasing tremendously. The government should take it seriously and seek international coordination and expert manpower to curtail, if not stop it wholly. Supply of SIM, unauthentic Aadhaar and banks need to be tightened,' Garg added. However, DSP (Cyber Crime) A Venkatesh said, 'In several complaints, complainants get their money back during the preliminary investigation, and then do not pursue their complaints further. So, not all complaints turned into FIRs, as every FIR is registered after a thorough inquiry.' Meanwhile, the Chandigarh Police has urged the public to remain vigilant and report such incidents on the Cyber Crime Helpline (1930) or the national cybercrime portal (

Mumbai Woman's Morphed Nude Photos Sent To Family Despite Loan Repayment
Mumbai: A 25-year-old woman in Mumbai was allegedly harassed by a loan app firm and her morphed nude photographs were shared with her relatives and friends, even as she handed over an amount of money that was more than what she borrowed. According to the police, the victim from Kranti Nagar area in Jogeshwari West said she was in need of money when she came across an advertisement of a mobile app called "Cash Loan" on Instagram. On July 20, she downloaded the app and shared all her personal information and details pertaining to her Aadhaar card and bank account as part of the formalities. The woman, the police added, applied for a loan of Rs 2,000 but received only Rs 1,300 for a period of six days. However, even before the loan period could end, the woman allegedly started receiving threats from a person who introduced himself as an employee of the loan firm. The caller, she told the police, threatened to share obscene photos of her on social media if she did not immediately return the money. Out of fear, the woman sent Rs 1,000 twice to a person named "Sandesh Kumar" via a payment app. However, an hour later, the woman's aunt called her to inform her that she had received a morphed nude photograph of the woman on WhatsApp by an unknown sender. Within minutes, the same photograph was allegedly shared with two of the woman's friends from the same number. Not knowing what to do, the woman approached her father, who then approached the police for help. The accused allegedly threatened to tarnish the woman's reputation, the police said, citing the victim's complaint. A First Information Report (FIR) has been registered and a probe is underway.
