NCPR Portal: This portal will protect you from increasing cyberattacks; learn how to protect your privacy and data..

Akashvani has alerted smartphone users by sharing a post on social media. The post explains how a small negligence can leave you vulnerable to hackers. The purpose is to encourage citizens to use the portal and helpline number 1930.

About the portal?

This is an official online platform where any citizen can file complaints about financial fraud, online fraud, social media hacking, digital arrest scams, deepfakes or blackmail, and cybercrimes against women and children. Anonymous complaints can also be made, especially for crimes against women and children.

Features of the portal
This portal is not only a means of filing complaints, but also a database of criminals:

Suspect Repository: Here you can check suspicious phone numbers, emails, and bank accounts.

Report Suspect: If you suspect a WhatsApp number or Telegram handle, you can report it here.

Anonymous Reporting: In sensitive cases involving women and children, complaints are possible without revealing your identity.
Real-time tracking: As soon as a complaint is filed, it is sent to the local police, and you can check the status online.

Learning Corner: Tips for avoiding new types of fraud (such as digital arrests and deepfakes) are available here.

What do the statistics say?

According to the information provided on the portal, the rapid increase in cybercrime is considered very worrying:
In 2024: A total of 2.3 million complaints were filed (five times more than in 2021).
2025 (by June): 1.25 million cases have been reported in just six months.
Affected states: Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Karnataka, Gujarat, and Delhi are at the top of the cybercriminal radar.

What to do if you get scammed?
Cybersecurity experts have suggested some measures in case of fraud, such as:
Visit the website: Log in to the portal's official website.
Select a category: Click on Report Cybercrime and select the crime type (financial or other).
Provide evidence: Upload and submit screenshots, transaction IDs, or call records.
If financial fraud has occurred, immediately call 1930. Reporting within the first 1-2 hours (Golden Hour) increases the chances of having your money frozen.

Why is this campaign important?
Experts say that AI-based tools, deepfakes, digital arrest scams, and phishing attacks are rapidly increasing today. Recently, image-analysis tools like GeoSpy and social engineering fraud have posed a new threat to privacy. In such times, the NCPR portal can become not just a complaint but the first legal shield for digital security.
