Cybercrime has emerged as a growing concern for Jharkhand Police, with the state witnessing an alarming rise in online fraud, identity theft, and social media crimes. Recent reports show a significant increase in complaints related to online scams, phishing attacks, and financial frauds, particularly targeting unsuspecting residents in rural and semi-urban areas. The rise of digital transactions and the increasing use of social media platforms have further amplified the vulnerability of the public.
In response to this growing threat, Jharkhand Police have launched specialized cybercrime units to investigate and tackle these online offenses. The police have also been conducting public awareness campaigns to educate citizens about safe online practices, urging them to report suspicious activities and avoid falling prey to scams. Moreover, the state is enhancing its collaboration with national cybersecurity agencies to track down cybercriminals operating from outside the state. Authorities are optimistic that these measures will help mitigate the impact of cybercrimes on the public.
