India's cyber-fraud judgments grew 533% in five years.
3,840 real judgments from Indian Kanoon. 622 real fraud busts from Indian news this month. 53% of all judgments concentrate in just 5 High Courts. Nobody has aggregated this before. Zero synthetic data.
Each of these is its own tweet.
Cyber-fraud cases are exploding in Indian courts

If this demo became a real platform, here's what it would do.
Everything above is a civic-tech research demo on public data. The numbers are real, but the platform is not. A funded, ethics-reviewed version built in partnership with I4C or a state cyber cell would cover the six capabilities below. Nothing here requires inventing new AI — it requires connecting data that already exists, under inter-state MoUs, with privacy and audit guardrails baked in from day one.
Cross-state mule graph
Ingest NCRP leads, bank s.94 BNSS notice responses, and mule account flags from every state cyber cell. Build a unified graph of phone numbers, UPI VPAs, bank accounts, IMEIs, and wallet addresses — with community detection revealing rings that span 5+ states. Today, each cyber cell sees only its slice. This layer lets any investigator see the full footprint the moment they flag one node.
AI investigation copilot (India-hosted)
A Sarvam / Llama-Indic model deployed inside state police infrastructure. Semantic search over FIRs and chargesheets in Hindi and regional languages. Auto-drafts BNSS s.94 production orders and s.106 freeze requests. Summarizes phone dumps and WhatsApp exports. Never sends case data to external APIs — runs entirely on-prem.
Money-trail tracer
Visual money-trail reconstruction across UPI rails, bank transfers, wallet layering, and crypto off-ramps. Plug in bank notice responses under BNSS, overlay on-chain data from public explorers. Turn a weeks-long manual reconstruction into a 30-minute visual.
Live OSINT watchlist
Continuously monitor public Telegram scam-recruitment channels, fraud-VPA dumps, Play Store 1-star reviews, and news feeds. Auto-flag new mule VPAs and phishing domains in real-time. Cross-reference with live NCRP leads to identify networks while they are still active, not after the money is gone.
Victim triage & case prioritisation
Given the 2.3M annual NCRP volume, no state has the staff to investigate every complaint. A triage layer scores incoming complaints by recoverability — how fresh the trail is, whether the mule is still active, whether a bank notice is likely to succeed. Officers work the highest-return cases first.
Judicial outcomes dashboard
Feed judgment outcomes from Indian Kanoon (what this demo already uses) back into the investigation pipeline. Which evidence types lead to conviction? Which courts move fastest? What section pairings work best? This turns every judgment into institutional knowledge instead of leaving it buried in PDFs.
Looking for a friendly pilot state and domain advisors.
If you are at I4C, MHA, a state cyber cell, a cybercrime prosecutor, or covering cybercrime as a journalist — I'd love to talk. This demo is the proof that the data exists and the wiring is tractable. The next step is a pilot inside one state's infrastructure, on-prem, with full audit logs and zero facial recognition or predictive pre-crime scoring, ever.
The gap isn't AI. It's the graph that crosses state lines.
Maharashtra has MahaCrimeOS (Microsoft + MARVEL SPV). Delhi has CMAPS. UP has Trinetra. Punjab has PAIS. Every state is buying its own AI stack — and every mule ring operates across all of them.
The 3,840 real judgments above show the signal: cases are exploding (533% growth since 2020), concentrating in a few High Courts, and lagging the underlying crime by years. What's missing is the inter-state intelligence layer — a shared, privacy-preserving graph that lets any cyber cell see the full footprint of a network the moment they flag one node.
