In a groundbreaking move, Hyderabad's Cyber Mitra, or C-Mitra, has become India's first anti-cybercrime cell to harness the power of artificial intelligence (AI) in the fight against online crimes. This innovative approach has already yielded impressive results, with 1,000 complaints filed and 100 First Information Reports (FIRs) registered in a short time.
The C-Mitra team, established by City Police Commissioner V.C. Sajjanar, is dedicated to simplifying the complaint process for cybercrime victims. Led by DCP V. Arvind Babu, the cell guides victims through the legal labyrinth, ensuring they receive timely and effective assistance. The team operates in two shifts, from 8 am to 8 pm, with a dedicated 24-member squad. This initiative has been praised for its empathetic approach, as C-Mitra constable Deekshita highlights, "Many citizens are hesitant to approach police stations, but when we assure them of justice, their confidence is palpable."
The system is designed to be efficient and user-friendly. Once a victim reports a cyber offense through the 1930 helpline or the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal, the C-Mitra team takes the lead, gathering all necessary details. This proactive approach eliminates the need for victims to spend hours at police stations, as confirmed by Arvind Babu. The process is straightforward: victims print, sign, and send the AI-generated complaint to the cybercrime police station, triggering an immediate FIR registration with a copy sent directly to the victim's mobile phone.
This initiative marks a significant step forward in India's battle against cybercrime, offering a blend of cutting-edge technology and human empathy. As C-Mitra constable Prithvika envisions, the ultimate goal is a future where cybercrime is eradicated from Hyderabad, rendering initiatives like C-Mitra obsolete. With its efficient, victim-centric approach, C-Mitra is setting a new standard for addressing cybercrime, potentially inspiring similar innovations across the country.
