Cyber Fraud in MP: ₹634 Crore Looted, ₹137 Crore Recovered in 2025

In 2025, cyber criminals in Madhya Pradesh stole ₹634 crore from people.

The police managed to freeze ₹137 crore of this money and returned ₹47 crore to the victims.

There were 4,800 complaints about cyber fraud, but the police only registered official reports (FIRs) in 23 cases.

A new system called e-Zero FIR has been introduced to help people report cyber fraud easily through a website or a helpline number.

This system helps to freeze the stolen money quickly and collect important information.

However, the police need more help and resources to handle these cases better.

Experts say that people should report cyber fraud immediately, within the first two hours, to increase the chances of getting their money back.

The state has improved its ranking for returning money to victims, but there is still a need for better coordination between different states to catch the criminals faster.
