Supreme Court pushes for faster cyber fraud action as reported cases fall sharply
The Supreme Court has called for prompt action against cyber fraudsters while acknowledging a significant drop in reported incidents, from 1.2 lakh in 2024 to 16,377 currently. Authorities have been directed to fast-track a decision on implementing a 'kill switch' mechanism for mobile phones. Banks will be required to freeze funds transferred into mule accounts as a preventive measure. Victims will be reimbursed recovered amounts more quickly once investigations are completed. The new directives are intended to strengthen the overall cyber crime grievance redressal system.
