The Assam government on Tuesday rolled out the 'e-Zero FIR' initiative, under which cyber fraud complaints registered through the NCRP or helpline number 1930 will be automatically converted into FIRs.
Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said Assam was among the first states to implement the initiative, which is aimed at ensuring jurisdiction-free and hassle-free registration of FIRs in cybercrime cases.
"Furthering Adarniya Narendra Modi ji’s vision of a Cyber Secure Bharat, Assam has today officially rolled out the e-Zero FIR initiative — a system which will automatically convert cyber financial crimes lodged at NCRP or 1930 to FIRs," he said in a social media post.
He said the system would facilitate faster police action and improve the chances of recovering money lost in cyber fraud.
Financial cybercrime complaints involving more than Rs 10 lakh will be automatically converted into zero FIRs, enabling prompt action by law enforcement agencies, Sarma said.
"This quick rollout has been possible due to the guidance of Adarniya Amit Shah ji and the efforts of team Assam Police. Now, your hard-earned money will not go in vain with this prompt system," he added.
