Cybercrime losses in city soar 190-fold in a decade
Hindustan Times Delhi
|December 30, 2025
Cybercrime in the national capital has surged alarmingly, with losses shooting up from %6.3 crore in 2015 to 21,271 crore in 2025 —a190-fold jump over just 10 years, according to the data shared by the Delhi Police.
Delhi Police said its Intelligence Fusion and Strategic Operations (IFSO) unit and various districts were working to curb cyber crimes by registering more FIRs, freezing accounts, and recovering duped funds.
According to Delhi Police's Cyber Cell, around 1,600 cases of cyber fraud were lodged in 2025, with the cheated amount exceeding 2,271 crore. Last year, Delhi reported 1,591 cases of cyber frauds, and was duped of 21,145 crore. The city saw a spike of roughly 10% in losses from 2024, even though the number of cases registered in both the years remains fairly similar.
