The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- Karnataka police have ordered that all registered cybercrime FIRs be immediately transferred to specialised cybercrime police stations.
- The order was issued in a circular dated September 11 by Director General and Inspector General of Police M.A.

- The specialised units are tasked with preserving digital evidence, examining electronic devices, and coordinating with banks, payment intermediaries and telecom providers.
- The transfer is meant to speed up investigations and help freeze fraudulent transactions quickly, so defrauded money can be traced before it moves through multiple accounts.
