RISE OF AI-DRIVEN CYBERCRIME AND MEASURES TO CURB FINANCIAL LOSSES

This PIB release, based on a Rajya Sabha reply from the Ministry of Home Affairs, clarifies the role of the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) in compiling crime data.

It states that NCRB publishes "Crime in India" but does not track AI-driven cybercrimes separately. The statement also reiterates that 'Police' and 'Public Order' fall under State subjects, making States and UTs primarily responsible for crime control, with the Centre providing supplementary support.
