Prayagraj : As part of a statewide campaign, the sleuths of cyber cell on Thursday returned Rs 43.18 lakh to 484 victims of cyber fraud.
Following bank verification and SOPs, frozen funds are updated on the MRM portal (https://mrm-ncrp.mha.gov.in) and returned directly to the victims’ accounts after document verification at the local police station level.
Police said that the victims, whose funds have been frozen by banks via NCRP complaints, can reclaim their money through the MRM portal. “In cases of cyber fraud, immediately dial the cyber helpline 1930, register a complaint at www.cybercrime.gov.in, or report it to the Cyber Cell at your nearest police station,” said the police. Cops mentioned that cyber cell teams monitor the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal (NCRP) 24×7 to quickly freeze the defrauded funds in suspicious accounts. The operation was supervised by Prayagraj Police Commissioner Piyush Mordia, along with Additional CP (law and order) Ajay Pal Sharma, Additional CP ( Headquarters) Vijay Dhull and DCP and nodal officer (cyber crime) Manish Kumar Shandilya, and led by cyber cell in charge Ghanshyam Yadav. Police urged citizens never to share bank account details with strangers or let anyone use their account for job offers or other inducements, as this can lead to account freezing and legal action. They also warned against allowing strangers to use a mobile number registered in one’s name.
