Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh is set to establish a dedicated 1930 cybercrime call centre as cybercrime cases surge across the state. The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has proposed a cost of Rs 50 crore for the 180-seater facility at the Cyber Police Headquarters, pending approval from the state government. The 1930 helpline is India's 24/7 national toll-free cybercrime number for reporting financial fraud and online scams.
Once operational, the centre will handle complaints related to Madhya Pradesh directly from the national helpline, expediting the handling of cyber fraud cases. The centre will operate round the clock, enabling quicker processing of cases and potentially freezing funds involved in fraudulent activities. A dedicated team will coordinate with banks to freeze fraudulent transactions and assist in the recovery of funds.
Currently, delays in processing lead to the loss of the critical "golden hour," which is crucial for freezing funds and recovering stolen money. This new centre aims to improve the efficiency of cybercrime investigations and enhance the recovery of funds for victims.
