New Delhi, May 19 (UNI) In a significant step to 'Cyber Secure Bharat', the Home Ministry's Indian Cybercrime Coordination Centre (I4C) on Monday introduced the new e-Zero FIR initiative to nab any criminal with unprecedented speed.
In his post on ‘X’, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said that launched as a pilot project for Delhi, the new system will automatically convert cyber financial crimes filed at NCRP or 1930 to FIRs, initially above the threshold limit of Rs 10 lakh. The new system, which will drive investigations swiftly cracking down on cybercriminals, will soon be extended to the entire nation.
This is a significant step to achieve Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of a 'Cyber Secure Bharat'. Shah had given instructions for implementation of this initiative in a recent review meeting of Indian Cybercrime Coordination Centre (I4C) keeping in view the difficulties faced by victims of cyber financial crimes in recovery of the money lost, a Home Ministry statement said.
