Rajasthan Chief Secretary V. Srinivas has directed officials to prioritise the return of money put on hold in cyber fraud cases, with closer coordination between police and banks to help victims get relief sooner.
The direction came at a review at the Government Secretariat in Jaipur on September 8, 2026. The meeting covered cybercrime, digital links across the criminal justice system and implementation of the new criminal laws.
Faster fund returns and action on cybercrime hotspots
Srinivas called for better use of the Money Restoration Module to return held funds and time-bound handling of complaints through the Grievance Redressal Module.
He also directed that a separate review with police, banks and other stakeholders be convened soon to focus on cybercrime hotspots. No meeting date or fixed deadline for returning money was announced.
Other directions included making greater use of the Sahyog Portal to tackle cybercrime, improving coordination through the Samanvay Portal and strengthening the cyber capabilities of law enforcement agencies.
Rajasthan scores 10 out of 10 for ICJS integration
Officials reported that Rajasthan had secured 10 out of 10 for ICJS integration on the national dashboard tracking the new criminal laws. ICJS, the Inter-Operable Criminal Justice System, connects digital systems used by different parts of the justice process.
RajNet connectivity now covers all 1,040 police stations in the state. MedLEaPR, which handles medico-legal examination and post-mortem reporting, has been integrated with the Crime and Criminal Tracking Network and Systems. All districts have also joined e-Prosecution.
The Chief Secretary asked departments to address remaining technical and procedural gaps, improve electronic delivery of summons and strengthen links between forensic, prison, prosecution and medico-legal systems.
Evidence uploads and case progress reviewed
Director General of Police Rajiv Sharma said registration and training of investigating officers on the e-Sakshya app were complete, with 8,500 devices made available for its use. The review also recorded the following progress:
| Measure | Reported figure | Period or cut-off |
|---|---|---|
| FIRs with e-Sakshya prepared | More than 4.57 lakh | As of August 31, 2026 |
| Evidence IDs created and uploaded | More than 7.39 lakh | As of August 31, 2026 |
| Cases registered under the new criminal laws | 4,12,203 | July 1, 2024 to August 31, 2026 |
| Cases disposed of through charge sheets or final reports | 3,71,244 | From the cases registered in that period |
The charge-sheet and final-report figure amounts to about 90% of the registered cases in that period. It measures this stage of case processing and does not indicate a conviction rate.
Srinivas also called for more effective use of e-Summons, e-Sakshya and forensic investigation, particularly scientific evidence in serious crimes, as departments work to improve implementation of the new laws.
