The Cyber Police Station Jammu has intensified its fight against organised cyber fraud, registering significant success during the first quarter of 2026 with multiple arrests, large-scale recoveries, and widespread public outreach initiatives.
Working under the supervision of SP Operations Jammu, Kameshwar Puri, and assisted by DySP Rohit Chadgal, the cyber police carried out coordinated crackdowns on fraud networks operating across state lines. These efforts led to the arrest of five accused from different states and the recovery of ₹3.52 crore siphoned off by fraudsters.
According to official figures, the police received six fresh cases and 1,916 complaints during the period. Including backlog cases, a total of 11 cases and 1,259 complaints were disposed of. Authorities also acted on multiple grievances received through online portals, ensuring timely redressal.
In addition to tackling financial fraud, the cyber police recovered 42 missing mobile phones worth ₹8.4 lakh. Emphasis was also placed on public awareness, with 23 cyber safety programmes conducted across the region. Ten students from the Central University also completed internships at the Cyber Police Station, gaining hands-on experience in cyber policing.
Officials noted a sharp rise in emerging cyber threats, particularly “digital arrest” scams, AI-based voice cloning, and fraudulent investment schemes. Fraudsters are increasingly impersonating law enforcement agencies such as police, CBI, customs, and NCB to create panic and extort money from unsuspecting citizens.
The police have urged the public to remain vigilant and report any cyber fraud immediately by calling the national helpline 1930 within the “golden hour” to maximise chances of freezing stolen funds. Complaints can also be lodged on the official portal cybercrime.gov.in.
“Your alertness is your best defence. Stay informed, stay secure,” the officials said.
