Hyderabad, Nov 3 (UNI) The Telangana Cyber Security Bureau (TGCSB), in coordination with the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C), Ministry of Home Affairs, organised the fourth Joint Cyber Crime Coordination Team (JCCT-IV) meeting in Hyderabad on Tuesday, bringing together 45 officers from 13 States and representatives of 11 central agencies to strengthen the fight against organised cybercrime.
Inaugurating the meeting at TGiCCC, Telangana DGP C V Anand said cybercrime complaints increased by 24 per cent across the country in 2024-25, while Telangana recorded a three per cent decline. Financial losses due to cybercrime also fell by 20 per cent in Telangana, compared with a four per cent decline nationally, he said, stressing the need to prevent cyber fraud rather than focus only on recovering lost money.
TGCSB Director and Principal Secretary (Home) Shikha Goel said cybercriminals operated through organised transnational networks, while investigations remained restricted by jurisdictional boundaries. She called for intelligence-led investigations, real-time information sharing and coordinated multi-State operations.
