Delhi Police Cyber Centre to Tackle Bomb Hoaxes and Online Crimes

Delhi Police’s newly established Delhi Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (D4C) will have dedicated cells to investigate bomb hoaxes and technology-enabled crimes against women and children, according to a government notification. The move comes amid a series of bomb threats that have targeted government offices, schools and courts in the national capital, with investigators often struggling to trace the senders.

The notification, as reported by ANI and The New Indian Express, outlines the creation of a Hoax Bomb E-mail Investigation Cell. This cell will probe offences involving VPNs, anonymisation technologies, spoofed or anonymous emails and hoax bomb threats. Its work will include technical attribution, digital evidence collection and coordination with telecom operators, internet intermediaries and email service providers.

In addition, the D4C will house an Online Crimes against Women and Children (OCWC) Wing, tasked with preventing, detecting and coordinating action against technology-enabled offences targeting women and children. The wing will monitor complaints and generate actionable intelligence on organised online sexual exploitation networks, repeat offenders and cyber hotspots.

The OCWC Wing will coordinate with the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C), the Special Police Unit for Women and Children (SPUWAC), district cyber police stations, social-media intermediaries and internet service providers. Its responsibilities include content removal, evidence preservation and enforcement. The wing will comprise specialised units for prevention and mitigation, social-media monitoring and OSINT (open-source intelligence), takedown operations and survivor support.

The notification does not specify a timeline for the operationalisation of these units, nor does it detail the budget or staffing arrangements. The announcement comes as part of Delhi Police’s broader effort to strengthen its response to emerging cyber threats, including anonymous bomb-threat emails and crimes targeting women and children in the online space.

What was claimed, and who backed it

AI-extracted; can misattribute a claim — see Methodology.

Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status is Contested when two claims on this page negate each other; otherwise it counts the distinct outlets we found asserting it — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
