How cyber policing works in Punjab

  • Reported Punjab Police's State Cyber Crime Division froze 63,749 bank accounts linked to cyber fraud in the year up to June 2026, covering transactions of about Rs 540.34 crore. Police said the share of fraud money successfully frozen rose from 16.13% to 23.43% in the last financial year, which is why calling 1930 quickly matters. News On AIR (Prasar Bharati), IANS via NewKerala
  • Reported Punjab Police say around Rs 64 crore has been recovered and returned to cyber fraud victims since 2024. News On AIR (Prasar Bharati), IANS via NewKerala
  • Reported The Punjab cyber crime website (cybercrime.punjabpolice.gov.in) has a 24x7 chatbot called 'Cyber Mittar' that answers fraud victims' questions; the DGP launched it in October 2024. It gives information only, so you still need to report on 1930 or cybercrime.gov.in. News Arena India, Punjab Police State Cyber Crime Division

What to do first

  1. If money left your account, call 1930 straight away. It works in Punjab 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 Punjab 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 Punjab cyber cell

  • You filed on cybercrime.gov.in with Punjab 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.
