About
Cyber crime statistics in India are captured in this dataset, sourced from the National Crime Record Bureau (NCRB). It provides a detailed record of cases registered under the Information Technology (IT) Act and relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) across various States and Union Territories. Spanning the years 2002 to 2020, the data enables the tracking of cyber crime trends over nearly two decades, reflecting changes in case volumes and the administrative reorganisation of Indian states.
