In 2024, Jammu and Kashmir recorded a decline in cyber crime cases, with the central government claiming a savings of ₹11,158 crore.
The state of Jammu and Kashmir reported a noticeable dip in cyber crime cases for the year 2024, according to official data released by the state’s cyber crime cell. The decline comes after a series of intensified law‑enforcement measures and public awareness campaigns targeting online fraud and hacking activities.
Statistical figures show that the number of reported cyber crime incidents fell by approximately 12% compared to the previous year. The most common offenses—phishing, identity theft, and online scams—were among those that saw the greatest reduction.
In a related announcement, the central government highlighted that the overall savings accrued from reduced cyber crime costs amounted to ₹11,158 crore. The figure reflects lower expenditures on investigations, victim support, and digital infrastructure upgrades that were previously required to counteract the higher volume of offenses.
Officials from the state’s cyber crime unit emphasized that continued vigilance and collaboration with national agencies will be essential to sustain the downward trend and protect citizens from emerging cyber threats.
