First quarter saw cyber fraud complaints in Ranchi spike. Authorities logged 6,610 cases worth ₹74.59 crore. Police froze ₹14.52 crore in various accounts to help victims. And ₹16.98 lakh has been refunded through courts.

Manoj Kaushik,Additional Director General of CID,says investment scams are rampant. Big money involved . Victims get hooked by fake profit promises,making it tough for police to trace funds. Especially when reports come 24 hours late.

Kaushik stressed timely reporting. Police boosted 'Dial 1930' helpline with more infrastructure and staff to cut call drop delays. Goal: make complaint registration smoother for victims.

In same period,cyber police in Jharkhand registered 222 FIRs for cybercrime. Many 1930 helpline complaints lead to FIRs. Some victims still go straight to police stations.

Once money's withdrawn,it's gone. Police can only freeze what's still in accounts. Tough job,but they're focused on helping victims. Working with law enforcement across India to nab criminals. Even if victims are outside Jharkhand…
