Strengthening of Cyber Infrastructure for Combating Cyber Crime

Shortage of dedicated cyber police stations limited district-level reporting, investigation, and response to rapidly increasing cybercrime across Odisha.
Traditional reactive, case-by-case policing was inadequate against organised, technology-driven cybercrime networks operating across districts and states.
District police lacked specialised digital infrastructure, uniform investigation standards, and first-level cyber forensic capabilities.
Mule accounts, fake SIM networks, and financial fraud chains were enabling organised cybercrime and required systematic disruption.
The evolving threat landscape demanded stronger cyber intelligence, forensic capacity, technical manpower, and coordinated statewide enforcement.

Established 20 new CC & EO Police Stations, ensuring dedicated cyber policing coverage across all 34 Police Districts of Odisha.
Rolled out Hub & Spoke Cyber Forensic Laboratories across all 34 stations through secure MPLS connectivity.
Initiated engagement of 170 specialised IT, cyber forensic, and financial experts to strengthen investigation capacity statewide.
Conducted Operation Cyber Kavach, verifying 39,714 mule accounts, registering 1,422 cases, arresting 379 accused, and serving 7,549 notices.
Recovered and restored 689 stolen or lost mobile phones, providing direct relief to cybercrime victims across Odisha.
