A.Dear Client,

The National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal (NCCRP) is an initiative by the Government of India aimed at facilitating victims/complainants to report cybercrime scams or complaints online. When a cybercrime scam is reported to NCCRP, the Cyber Crime Cell instructs its investigating team to initiate the routine investigation process. This may involve freezing suspected accounts of fraudsters and the victim's bank account as part of the investigation.

During the investigation, the investigating agency may contact the victim to record statements or collect relevant documents. It is advisable for the victim to cooperate with the investigating authorities and provide any assistance required for the investigation.

The duration of a cybercrime investigation can vary depending on factors such as the complexity of the case, available resources, and the level of cooperation from involved parties. Investigations can range from a few weeks to several months or even years to complete.

To ensure necessary action is taken in the matter, victims should get in touch with the Cyber Crime Cell of their district or state and provide any relevant information or assistance required for the investigation.
