This measure aids in tackling online fraudsters effectively, providing substantial assistance to the public," sources said. This year, Gujarat Police organised a programme to return money to the victims of online fraud. In 2024 alone, 101 cases of cybercrime were registered in Ahmedabad.
"The Ahmedabad Cyber Crime Branch operated in two ways: prevention and detection. They arrested about 155 accused related to these crimes. To prevent fraudsters from exploiting the victims' money, the police froze the funds. They assisted the victims through people's courts, obtaining 2,998 court orders and returning around Rs 170 million to the victims," said the official government data.
