              The Cyber Crime cases have witnessed a quantum jump over the past few years. These complaints are being received by hand as well as through post/e-mails and are generally related to social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter & Youtube besides fake e-mail IDs, hacking of websites/e-mail accounts, credit card frauds, Internet banking, frauds, abusive/ defamatory/threatening e-mails and Nigerian 419 scam etc. Details of cyber crime cases registered in last few years are as under:

The evidence in such cases is required to be immediately retrieved and analysed. Since the evidence pertains to e-mails, websites, chat rooms, databases etc. and has to be traced on the Desktops, Laptops as well as Mobiles Phones, it is imperative that the data is retrieved at the earliest and following the prescribed procedure for its admissibility in Courts. Thus, in order to investigate cyber crime cases and quickly retrieve/ analyse important and relevant data, a separate Cyber Cell has been set up in the Crime Branch which will deal with cases/complaints related to cyber crime in Delhi. This Cyber Cell will work in tandem with the Cyber Cells of EOW and Special Cell. 
            
             CP, Delhi has directed to make effective use of the existing facilities and further make it a state of the art centre for Cyber Crime investigation.

       The Cell will start functioning under the guidance of Deputy Commissioner of Police, Crime (HQ) Shri M.A. Rizvi, who has previously handled cyber crimes during his tenure in EOW. He shall be assisted with teams of suitably trained staff.
