Around ₹63.17 lakh was refunded to 802 cyber-crime victims since May 2026 till date through Money Restoration Module (MRM), an online platform under the Ministry of Home Affairs, said District SP Dr. Ajitha Vejendla during Monthly Crime Review Meeting in Nellore on Friday (November 13).

The SP interacted with cyber-crime victims, enquired about their problems, and the assistance received through the police, and assured them of continued support. She appreciated the Cyber Crime Police personnel for their timely response and efforts in helping victims.

She conducted the meeting with a focus on crime prevention, disposal of pending cases, improving conviction rate, special action plan under State Police Pilot Project – Operation Trishul, and robust security planning for upcoming elections covering 700 Gram Panchayats in three phases.

The SP directed the police to conduct extensive village visits, Palle Nidra programmes, flag marches, Cordon and Search Operations, ‘naka bandi’ operations, and inspections of lodges and choultries across the district.

Continuous surveillance should be maintained over sensitive, highly sensitive, and suspected areas. Appropriate legal action, including registration of bind-over cases, should be initiated against habitual offenders, trouble-mongers and anyone who disturb peace and order.
