How This IPS Officer Is Revolutionizing the Fight Against Cyber Fraud in Rural MP
In early December of last year, the police in Mandla district, Madhya Pradesh, uncovered an interstate fraud syndicate that had been using WhatsApp groups to deceive people into investing in fake apps. The gang had swindled over Rs 7 crore across 16 states. Remarkably, the revelation of this large-scale operation stemmed from a complaint filed in a remote village.

The complaint, lodged at the Anjaniya village police outpost, detailed how the victim was lured into online trading through a WhatsApp group. The fraudsters tricked him into investing Rs 17 lakh from his father’s retirement savings into a fake trading app. Initially, the app showed promising returns, but soon the funds began to disappear. Acting on this complaint, the police launched an investigation that led to the exposure of the entire gang.

In fact, Mandla police have uncovered several cyber crimes, both big and small, over the past year. Many of these cases were reported at local village police stations, an encouraging sign of increased awareness and access to justice. Previously, villagers had to travel to the district headquarters to report cyber crimes, but with the establishment of cyber cells in every police station and greater public awareness, the process has become more efficient. Not only have cyber crimes decreased, but victims are also finding it easier to report incidents and seek help.

This transformation is largely credited to Mandla’s district SP, Rajat Saklecha, a 2016 batch IPS officer. Under his leadership, the district police have recovered and refunded over Rs 60 lakh to victims of cyber fraud. The success of the district’s cyber cell is evident – while only 253 stolen mobile phones were recovered in 2023, that number jumped to 1,020 in 2024, with the phones returned to their rightful owners. Thanks to Saklecha’s initiatives, complaints are quickly addressed, and recovery rates have significantly improved. The local community now feels empowered, knowing that the police are not only listening but actively working to combat cyber crime.

Indian Masterminds spoke with Mr. Saklecha, to gain deeper insights into the initiatives he has implemented and his efforts in curbing cyber crime in the district.

Before taking charge on November 1, 2024, Mr. Singh paid floral tributes to the fallen heroes at the National War Memorial in New Delhi, honoring their sacrifice. These words formed part of his tribute only.

Mr Singh hails from Muzaffarpur, Bihar but he has been in the Kerala cadre of the IAS. He has spent a part of his professional life in Delhi, especially last few years since his empanelment as joint secretary and then Secretary to the Union government.

He succeeds Giridhar Aramane, a 1988-batch IAS officer of Andhra Pradesh cadre, who superannuated from service on October 31, 2024.
