Gurgaon lost lesser amount to cyber frauds in 2025: Police

This, police said, is a result of enhanced technical surveillance, and public awareness initiatives.

Comparative data for 2024 and 2025 showed a notable reduction in the total amount defrauded from Gurgaon residents this year.

The total amount dropped from Rs 387.96 crore in 2024 to Rs 281.99 crore in 2025, marking a decline of over Rs 106 crore. This, police said, is a result of enhanced technical surveillance, and public awareness initiatives.

Arrests saw a substantial rise, with 2,649 detained in 2025 compared to 1,868 in 2024 — a jump of about 42 per cent.

The police also took action against bank employees allegedly colluding with fraudsters, arresting 25 such people in two years, including 15 in 2025.

The number of complaints also increased from 40,051 in 2024 to 41,395 in 2025. Similarly, while 1,358 FIRs were filed last year, 1,633 were filed in 2025.

Also, Rs 32.39 crore was refunded directly to victims’ accounts in 2025 through coordination with banks, in addition to amounts placed on hold to prevent transfers.

Authorities have appealed to the public to report incidents immediately by calling 1930 or filing complaints on http://www.cybercrime.gov.in, emphasising the significance of the “golden hour” after a fraud is committed, to block and recover funds.
