"The fake call network has been exposed! Now comes a new digital weapon to end the scams."

Jaipur, April 8.
To curb the rapidly increasing cybercrime in the state, the Rajasthan Police has advised the public to remain vigilant and adopt digital security measures. In this direction, the "Chakshu Portal," launched by the Department of Telecommunications, Government of India, has now emerged as an effective security shield for the public.

According to the Cyber Crime Branch of the Rajasthan Police, this portal provides a platform for quick action against fraudulent calls, suspicious messages, and social media fraud. Significantly, filing a complaint here not only blocks the mobile number, but also blacklists the device's IMEI number. This prevents criminals from using the same phone to commit fraud again.

How does the Chakshu portal work?

Filing a complaint on the portal is extremely easy. If a person receives a suspicious call, SMS, or WhatsApp message, they can provide relevant information, such as:

• Call/Message Mode

• Time and date of the incident

• Screenshots or other evidence

You can upload and report immediately. The relevant agencies then investigate and take action.

Report these cases immediately.

Cybercriminals are using various methods to trap people. Therefore, it's important to report immediately in the following situations:

• Calling impersonating a courier or bank and asking for personal information

• Attempted fraud under the pretext of KYC update

• Impersonating as police, CBI, RBI or customs officer (digital arrest)

• Job offers or missed calls from foreign numbers (+92, +84, +62 etc.)

Where to complain: Choosing the right platform is essential

Rajasthan Police has also explained to the people which platform should be used in which situation.

• Just received a suspicious call/message (no harm done):
  Report on Chakshu Portal

• If you have been scammed and your money has been deducted:
  Immediately call the 1930 helpline and lodge a complaint on cybercrime.gov.in

• Mobile phone is lost or stolen:
  Block or track your phone by visiting the CEIR portal of Sanchar Sathi

Police appeal: Awareness is the biggest defense

The Rajasthan Police has urged citizens not to trust any unknown calls or suspicious messages and to report them immediately. Taking timely action can protect not only themselves but also others from cyber fraud.

If needed, people can contact their nearest cyber police station or give information on helpline numbers 1930 , 9256001930 and 9257510100 .

Stay alert, stay digitally secure – this is the most effective way to protect against cybercrime
