Why in News?

The Prayagraj Police have intensified their crackdown on cybercrime using ‘Pratibimb’, an advanced digital policing platform to detect fraud patterns with high accuracy.

Key Points

Pratibimb is a data-driven crime-mapping and analytics platform that integrates FIRs, mobile tower data, IP addresses, financial transaction data and behavioural patterns to locate cyberfraud clusters.
The system allows police to generate real-time heat maps of cybercrime-prone areas, enabling targeted field operations.
It helps identify repeat cyber fraudsters, SIM cards used across scams, and high-risk digital routes used for money transfers.
The platform works alongside national tools such as ‘Citizen Financial Cyber Frauds Reporting and Management System (CFCFRMS)’ under Ministry of Home Affairs for blocking suspicious transactions within the golden hour.

Citizen Financial Cyber Frauds Reporting and Management System (CFCFRMS)

CFCFRMS is a national online system for reporting financial cyber frauds, operated through the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal (1930 helpline + online platform).
It enables victims to quickly report fraudulent transactions, allowing banks and payment intermediaries to freeze or recover funds in the “golden hour.”
The system is coordinated by the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C) under the Ministry of Home Affairs.
It connects banks, law-enforcement agencies, fintech companies, and payment service providers on a single real-time response mechanism.
