These bank officers work 24 hours with the Haryana Police team.

Similarly, in the year 2023, cyber frauds of about Rs. 602 crore were reported in Haryana, while this figure increased to Rs. 980 crore in 2024. In the year 2023, about Rs. 76 crore was saved from cybercriminals, while in 2024, about Rs. 268 crore was saved. He said that efforts should be made to arrest cybercriminals to control cybercrime and also give targets to their subordinate officers for this and fix the responsibility of negligent officers. He emphasized the arrest of cybercriminals.
Mr. Kapur said that to control cybercrime, we all will have to work under an effective action plan in one direction, only then the results will be even better. He said that cybercrime is a serious issue, to deal with which new challenges have to be faced every day. In such a situation, it is necessary that everyone is clear about their responsibilities and has no doubts about the work.
