In 2024, the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) reported 404 cybercrime cases in India, a slight decrease from 407 in 2023. Despite this overall stability, there has been a concerning rise in cases of digital arrests, a new form of cyber fraud where victims are coerced into transferring their savings under the threat of arrest. Police officials noted that many crimes go unreported due to shame or lack of understanding about these new frauds. A spokesperson from the Delhi Police emphasized the importance of encouraging victims to file First Information Reports (FIRs), even for small amounts. The NCRB data also highlighted that sexual exploitation and fraud were the leading types of cybercrime in Delhi. Additionally, economic offences slightly declined, with Delhi ranking fourth among major cities for such crimes. Cyber law expert Dr. Pavan Duggal criticized the NCRB's reporting, suggesting that it does not accurately reflect the ongoing surge in cybercrime, which he described as a 'cybercrime pandemic.'
