Event Summary

On July 27, 2026, India — Gujarat Deputy Chief Minister Harsh Sanghavi launched the 'Cyber Financial Fraud e-Zero FIR' service in Gandhinagar. The system allows victims to register complaints via the national cybercrime helpline 1930, automatically generating an e-FIR that is forwarded to the relevant police station, enabling faster investigation without visiting a police station. The initiative was implemented in coordination with the India — Indian Cybercrime Coordination Centre (I4C) under the Ministry of Home Affairs. Director General of Police Jitendra Singh (politician) instructed field units to handle cases seriously. The first e-Zero FIR was registered by an Ahmedabad resident who was a victim of a digital arrest scam, and swift action saved over Rs 15.76 lakh.
