In an effort to combat the rising incidents of cyber financial fraud, the Lakshadweep Police launched a dedicated Cyber Financial Fraud Helpline in late 2024. This initiative allows residents to report cyber fraud incidents and recover stolen funds within 48 hours. The helpline, with the number 1930, is designed to provide immediate assistance to victims of online financial scams and ensure timely intervention from law enforcement.
This move is part of Lakshadweep’s broader strategy to modernize its policing systems and protect its residents from the growing threat of cybercrime. The initiative aims to provide a quick response mechanism and support for people who fall victim to online frauds, which have become increasingly prevalent across the country.
