New Delhi, December 9, 2025 — The government informed Parliament on Tuesday that a special registry launched by the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C) has helped block over ₹8,031 crore in suspected cyber fraud transactions and identified millions of suspicious accounts and individuals.

Minister of State for Home Affairs, Bandi Sanjay Kumar, stated in a written reply to the Lok Sabha that the suspect registry of identifiers of cyber criminals, launched on September 10, 2024, in collaboration with banks and financial institutions, has already received data on 18.43 lakh suspect individuals and 24.67 lakh Layer 1 mule accounts, which are often used to launder money through multi-layered transfers.

The government highlighted the role of Pratibimb, a crime-mapping platform that tracks locations and digital infrastructure of offenders, which has contributed to the arrest of 16,840 accused. In addition, the Citizen Financial Cyber Fraud Reporting and Management System—launched under I4C in 2021—has saved over ₹7,130 crore across more than 23 lakh complaints.

To strengthen cyber investigations, national cyber forensic laboratories have been established in Delhi and Assam, with the Delhi lab supporting 12,952 cases. Capacity-building initiatives such as the CyTrain online platform and Cyber Commando Programme have trained thousands of police, judicial officers, and specialized commandos to handle cybercrime.

The government said these measures are part of a multi-pronged approach to detect, prevent, and curb cyber fraudacross India.
