Cybercrime is a growing concern in Rajasthan, with a notable increase in online fraud, identity theft, hacking, and cyberbullying. As more people in the state gain access to the internet, both through smartphones and computers, the risks of cybercrime have escalated. Cybercriminals often target vulnerable groups, including senior citizens and those unfamiliar with digital security practices, exploiting online shopping platforms, social media, and banking systems for fraudulent activities.

Rajasthan Police have stepped up their efforts to combat cybercrime through specialized units dedicated to digital forensics and cybercrime investigations. These units work to trace digital footprints and identify perpetrators. In addition to investigation and law enforcement, the police have launched awareness programs aimed at educating the public about safe online practices, recognizing phishing scams, and reporting cybercrimes. Collaboration with national cybercrime authorities also enhances their capabilities in fighting digital crime effectively.
