Speaking to The Indian Express about the mechanism to refund the money to victims of cyber fraud, OP Singh, Deputy Director General of Police (Cyber) of Haryana said, “Streamlining the process of disbursing the fraudulent amount of money to victims of cyber crime is of utmost importance. By leveraging the National Cyber ​​Crime Reporting Portal and avoiding unnecessary delays, we can ensure timely justice and assistance to the victims of cyber fraud. This approach underlines our commitment to efficiency and victim support in the digital age.”

ADGP Singh explained that it is extremely important to report cases of cyber fraud promptly as it prevents amounts from falling into the hands of fraudsters.

Meanwhile, the Punjab and Haryana High Court recently stated that victims of cyber fraud do not need an FIR to get their blocked money back.

The Registrar General of the Punjab and Haryana High Court has stressed in a letter to all district and session judges in the two states that in cases of cybercrime, “no FIR registration is required for the recovery of the amount obtained by fraud”.

According to police, in 60 percent of cases, there were difficulties in releasing the blocked amount because the court insisted on an FIR.
