A.Dear Client,

The National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal (NCCRP) is an initiative by the Government of India designed to enable victims or complainants to report cybercrime scams or complaints online. Once a cybercrime scam is reported on the NCCRP, the Cyber Crime Cell instructs an investigating team to initiate the standard investigative process. This includes promptly freezing suspected accounts of fraudsters and the victim's bank account. During the investigation, the victim may be contacted to record statements or submit relevant documents.

To seek necessary action in the matter, individuals are advised to contact the Cybercrime Cell of their district or state. The duration of a cybercrime investigation can vary significantly based on factors such as case complexity, available resources for investigators, and the cooperation of the victim. Generally, cybercrime investigations can range from a few weeks to several months or even years.

Being under investigation can have consequences, potentially impacting police verification processes and leading to the denial of a passport application by the passport issuing authority. If faced with such a situation, individuals are encouraged to stay in communication with the investigating authorities and seek legal advice if necessary.
