The Indian government is launching a national initiative aimed at dismantling the ecosystem of cyber scams and frauds, with a key conference to be held on February 10-11, 2026, in New Delhi. The event, inaugurated by Union Home Minister Amit Shah, is titled 'Dealing with Cyber-Empowered Fraud and Dismantling Its Ecosystem', and is organized by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) with support from the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C).

The two-day conference will include discussions on various strategies to combat cybercrime, with the inauguration of a new cyber crime branch and the launch of the S4C dashboard under the I4C initiative. This event is particularly significant as it highlights the government’s commitment toward strengthening the legal and technological frameworks necessary for countering an escalating number of cyber scams affecting citizens.

Amit Shah's participation emphasizes the seriousness of the government's approach and aims to streamline efforts across agencies to effectively respond to the challenges posed by cyber criminals. The outcomes of this conference could have significant implications for both law enforcement and the general public, indicating a proactive stance in ensuring online safety and security.
