What to do first

  1. If money left your account, call 1930 straight away. It works in Karnataka and every other state, and it is the fastest way to get the money held.
  2. Tell your bank to block your card, UPI and net banking, and report the transactions as fraud in writing.
  3. Complete the complaint on cybercrime.gov.in with Karnataka as the state, and save the acknowledgement number.
  4. Keep screenshots, transaction IDs and the scammer's numbers, UPI IDs and links. Do not delete the chats.

When to contact the Karnataka cyber cell

  • You filed on cybercrime.gov.in with Karnataka as the state and want to follow up on it.
  • You are unhappy with how your complaint is being handled and want to raise a grievance.
  • You need to know which police station or cyber police station is handling your case.
  • Your bank account was frozen after a complaint and you need to know which police unit to contact.

The nodal officer contacts are for follow-up and grievances, not emergencies. For a crime happening now, call 112.

Karnataka in numbers

  • Cyber crime cases registered by police, 2024: 21,993
  • Cases registered, 2023: 21,889
  • Cases registered, 2022: 12,556

Source: NCRB Crime in India, as tabled in Lok Sabha (Unstarred Q.251, 21 July 2026)

  • Cyber crime complaints reported on the national portal, 2024: 1,69,384
  • Complaints reported, January–June 2025: 1,02,896

Source: Complaints on the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal, Rajya Sabha (Unstarred Q.1200, 30 July 2025)

  • Cyber fraud complaints reported (cumulative): 2,52,487
  • Amount reported lost (cumulative): ₹4,151.17 crore
  • Amount put on hold (lien) in receiving accounts: ₹403.42 crore

Source: Cyber fraud on the national portal since launch, Rajya Sabha (Unstarred Q.1513, 12 March 2025)

Cases registered are police FIRs counted by NCRB. Complaints are reports made on the national portal, which are far more numerous because not every complaint becomes an FIR. Money on hold has been frozen in the receiving accounts; it is not the same as money returned to victims.
