Cyberstalking, online fraud and identity theft are major concerns, but the police in India are working hard to make the Internet safer for everyone.

Keeping India Safe Online


Approaching a CCIC
The types of crimes that can be reported to the CCIC include child pornography, cyber stalking, denial of service attacks, virus dissemination, software piracy, crime involving the use of electronic communications, credit card fraud, online extortion, phishing, or any crime in which technological means have been used.

If you are a victim, a First Information Report (FIR) should be registered with the local police if a CCIC is not available in your city. All possible details of the crime must be provided. If there is a CCIC in your city, you can approach them first. If not, the information will be later passed on to the CCIC by the officers who record your FIR.

Carry along any evidence of the crime you might have. The case should be registered immediately and action will be initiated. The police will first check with the hosting provider of the respective website/service, which could even be shut down or blocked to prevent any further misuse.
