Despite a steady rise in cybercrime complaints, Haryana has recorded a significant decline in financial losses due to faster police intervention and improved coordination with banks. According to data released by the Haryana Cyber Police, the state receives nearly 400 cyber fraud complaints every day. More than 141,000 complaints were registered in 2025 alone, while a total of 475,000 cybercrime complaints were reported between 2023 and July 2026. Despite the increase in cases, financial losses from cyber fraud declined by nearly 36 percent in 2025 compared with the previous year.
Police data show that between 2023 and July 2026, authorities received more than 475,000 cybercrime complaints, averaging about 366 complaints every day. During the same period, Haryana Police registered 17,593 FIRs, arrested 19,786 accused, and successfully froze or recovered ₹7.6185 billion that had either been stolen or was at risk of being siphoned off by cyber fraudsters.
The figures indicate a consistent increase in the number of cybercrime complaints over the past three years. Complaints rose from 115,588 in 2023 to 130,531 in 2024 and further increased to 141,685 in 2025. However, despite an 8.5 percent rise in complaints, the total financial losses declined. Cyber fraud losses increased from ₹6.02 billion in 2023 to ₹9.80 billion in 2024 before dropping sharply to ₹6.30 billion in 2025, representing a decline of nearly 36 percent.
According to officials, the improvement has been driven by faster reporting by victims, quicker police response, and stronger coordination with banks to freeze fraudulent transactions before the funds are withdrawn. In 2023, police managed to freeze or recover only ₹768.5 million, equivalent to about 12 percent of the total amount lost. The recovery figure increased to ₹2.68 billion, or 27 percent, in 2024, and remained high at ₹2.56 billion, representing around 40 percent of the total losses, in 2025.
The trend has continued in 2026. As of July 31, victims had reported cyber fraud losses of approximately ₹3.80 billion. Of this amount, authorities have already frozen or recovered ₹1.61 billion, accounting for nearly 42.5 percent of the reported losses. Officials claim this is the highest recovery rate in the country, reflecting the state’s ability to intercept fraudulent transactions before the money is withdrawn by criminals.
Haryana Police said it has also intensified its enforcement measures against cybercriminals. The state’s Mobile Blocking Unit has blocked more than 400,000 mobile numbers allegedly used in cybercrime operations across the country. Authorities have also identified and blocked nearly 23,000 phishing URLs and suspicious websites, while approximately 30,000 mobile devices linked to cyber fraud have been disabled this year.
Police said efforts are continuing to strengthen coordination with banks, enhance technical surveillance, improve digital investigation capabilities, and expand rapid response mechanisms to reduce cyber fraud and improve the recovery of stolen funds. They also urged the public to report cybercrime incidents immediately so that fraudulent transactions can be frozen at the earliest stage and financial losses minimised.
