What is Cyber Crime Cases?
Cyber crime cases in India are rising sharply, and India — as the country's technology capital — sees one of the highest volumes of online fraud, financial scams, social media harassment, and data theft incidents. Whether you have lost money to an online investment scam, UPI fraud, romance scam, phishing, OTP fraud, or are being harassed through social media or WhatsApp messages, you have strong legal remedies under the Information Technology Act 2000, the IT (Amendment) Act 2008, and the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). The primary law enforcement authority for cyber crimes in Karnataka is the Bengaluru Cyber Crime Police, housed at the CID headquarters in Chamarajpet. Cases can also be reported at any local police station, which is then required to forward the complaint to the Cyber Crime PS. For financial cyber frauds, the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal (cybercrime.gov.in) is a critical first step, and the 1930 helpline can freeze fraudulently transferred funds if called immediately. At Right Assets Management, we connect you with cyber crime lawyers across India who understand both the technical and legal dimensions of cyber offences. We are not a law firm, but our advisory team helps you document your evidence correctly, guides you through the FIR filing process at the Bengaluru Cyber Crime PS, and ensures your case is presented with the clarity and urgency it deserves.
Who Is This For?
- Individuals who have lost money through UPI fraud, online investment scams, or phishing attacks
- Victims of identity theft, social media account hacking, or unauthorised use of personal photographs
- Individuals being harassed, blackmailed, or threatened through WhatsApp, Instagram, or other digital platforms
- Businesses whose website, email, or customer data has been compromised or subject to a ransomware attack
- Victims of romance scams, matrimonial fraud, or fraudulent e-commerce transactions
- Individuals whose reputation has been damaged by fake profiles, defamatory posts, or morphed images online
How We Help — Step by Step
Immediate Evidence Preservation
Time is critical in cyber crime cases. We guide you to immediately screenshot all conversations, save transaction IDs, note down UPI handles, and preserve digital evidence before it is deleted by the fraudster or platform.
1930 Helpline & Cybercrime Portal (Financial Frauds)
For financial cyber frauds, we guide you to call the national helpline 1930 immediately and report the incident on cybercrime.gov.in. Quick reporting can trigger a bank or payment gateway hold on the fraudulently transferred amount.
FIR Filing at Bengaluru Cyber Crime PS
We help you draft a clear, fact-specific complaint for filing at the Bengaluru Cyber Crime Police Station, CID headquarters, Chamarajpet, or at your nearest local police station. A properly drafted complaint significantly improves the quality of the investigation.
Lawyer Matching
We connect you with a cyber crime lawyer across India who has experience in handling cases before criminal courts and can advise on parallel civil remedies — including injunctions to remove defamatory content or recover funds.
Platform Reporting & Takedown
For social media harassment, fake profiles, or morphed images, we guide you through the platform reporting process. Your lawyer can also send a legal notice to platforms demanding takedown under the IT Act's intermediary liability provisions.
Case Follow-Up with Police
Cyber crime investigations in India often require persistent follow-up. We help you track the status of your complaint, escalate to the Superintendent of Cyber Crime if the investigation stalls, and approach a court for directions if police inaction continues.
Court Proceedings & Recovery
Your lawyer represents you in the criminal case and simultaneously pursues civil remedies — attachment of fraudster assets, recovery of money through civil suits, or compensation orders — to maximise the chance of actual financial recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do immediately if I have been defrauded online across India?
Call the national cyber crime helpline 1930 immediately — this can trigger a hold on fraudulently transferred funds before they are withdrawn. Then file a complaint on cybercrime.gov.in. Simultaneously, inform your bank to flag the transaction. Do not wait — every hour increases the chance that the money is moved and unrecoverable. Contact us right after taking these emergency steps.
Where do I file a cyber crime complaint across India?
You can file at the Bengaluru Cyber Crime Police Station at CID headquarters in Chamarajpet, or at your nearest police station (which is legally required to register the complaint and forward it to the Cyber Crime PS). You can also file online at cybercrime.gov.in — this is the fastest option and is available 24/7.
Can I file a case if I am being harassed on WhatsApp or Instagram across India?
Yes. Online harassment, threats, morphed images, and fake profiles are offences under the IT Act 2000 and the BNS. You can file an FIR at the Bengaluru Cyber Crime PS citing the relevant sections. Additionally, your lawyer can send a legal notice to the platform demanding removal of content and can file a civil suit for damages. Preserve all screenshots as evidence before reporting.
What if the police are not taking my cyber crime complaint seriously?
Unfortunately, inaction on cyber crime complaints does happen. You can escalate in writing to the Superintendent of Police, Cyber Crime, Karnataka CID. If that fails, you can file a private complaint before the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate across India, who can direct the police to investigate. Our advisory team can guide you through the escalation process step by step.
