Rajasthan Police Launches Automatic e‑Zero FIR System for Cyber Frauds Over ₹1 Lakh

The Rajasthan Police have instituted an automatic e‑Zero FIR mechanism for cyber financial frauds involving amounts of ₹1 lakh or more. The new process, ordered by Director General of Police Rajiv Kumar Sharma and rolled out statewide on Thursday, links the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal (I4C), the 1930 cyber helpline and the Crime & Criminal Tracking Network & Systems (CCTNS). Victims no longer need to provide a physical signature; the FIR is generated electronically as soon as a complaint is lodged, after which police can immediately freeze suspect bank accounts, seize digital evidence and begin investigations.

Within the first 18 hours of activation, seven e‑Zero FIRs were recorded, bringing the total to 460 since the system’s launch. Authorities say the integration shortens response times, improves the chances of freezing illicit money trails and enhances the overall speed of cyber‑crime investigations in the state. Victims are urged to report fraud through the 1930 helpline promptly to benefit from the accelerated process.
