The total reported fraud amount went down from Rs 354.66 crore to Rs 328.64 crore, while the amount held or frozen increased from Rs 43.93 crore to Rs 66.58 crore.The decline followed special operations and widespread awareness drives. The launch of the cyber helpline 1930 and WhatsApp helplines 9256001930 and 9257510100, along with regular advisories in print and electronic media, led to more prompt reporting and quicker intervention, officials said. Police have urged people to call the helpline 1930, use the WhatsApp numbers, file a complaint on the cybercrime portal, or reach out to the nearest police station or cyber police station if they face any online fraud.
