Haryana cops halt fraudulent transactions of 6 lakh every day

The cellphones are still ringing, OTPs, bank, and debit and credit card details are still being demanded and shared, but there is a considerable drop in the amount of money that cyber fraudsters had been duping of the gullible people in Haryana.

The gravity of the matter can be gauged from the fact that the state police has been halting an average of Rs 6-7 lakh every day from going into the accounts of cyber fraudsters. In just over past two weeks, the cyber-crime helpline of Haryana Police has saved Rs 1.23 crore of state’s residents. This success can be partially attributed to a month-long awareness campaign in October after which the reporting of such crimes on Cyber Helpline Number 1930 has almost doubled.
