Telangana Cyber Security Bureau

What Telangana Cyber Security Bureau does

The Telangana Cyber Security Bureau (TGCSB) is a state-level law enforcement agency under the Government of Telangana, India, headquartered in Hyderabad and constituted in 2025 to prevent, investigate, and prosecute cybercrime within the state. It operates within the national Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C) ecosystem under the Ministry of Home Affairs and is the regional operator of the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal (cybercrime.gov.in), the National Helpline 1930 for financial fraud, and a State/UT Nodal Officers Network for complaint handling. Core services include citizen-facing complaint registration (financial fraud, women/children-related crime, other cybercrime), a Suspect Repository database that lets citizens search identifiers (mobile, email, account, URL) linked to known cyber criminals, a Report Suspect facility for crowdsourced suspect intelligence, and a Cyber Crime Volunteer Program for citizen engagement.

The bureau's technology stack is built on the centralized government portal infrastructure with database-driven features (Suspect Repository, complaint tracking, anonymous reporting) and integration into the broader I4C/cybercrime.gov.in ecosystem. In September 2025, TGCSB launched the 'Vyuha Labs' Cyber Innovation Hub — a 3,000+ sq ft facility in Hyderabad co-developed with IIIT Hyderabad — to bring startups, academia, and industry into the development pipeline for advanced cybercrime counter-solutions. Outreach channels include community awareness sessions (e.g., with The Times of India), celebrity endorsements, and a broad social-media presence across CyberDost accounts on X, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn, Telegram, ShareChat, Public, and WhatsApp.

TGCSB has no commercial revenue model — services are provided free to citizens and the bureau is publicly funded under the Government of Telangana with no pricing, no funding rounds, and no investors. It is led by Director Shikha Goel and Superintendent of Police B. Sai Sri, with two named offices in Hyderabad (headquarters and the Vyuha Labs R&D facility). Reported operational outcomes for 2025 include ₹212 crore recovered from ₹1,235 crore lost to cyber fraud (≈17% recovery rate), 45 individuals rescued from Myanmar scam camps, a ₹85.2 lakh fully-recovered digital-arrest case, and arrests of five trafficking agents.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• CERT-In (Indian Computer Emergency Response Team): India's national agency for cyber incident response, threat advisories, and coordination. Operates one level upstream of TGCSB and is highly comparable as a national-scale public-sector cyber response body.
• Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C): National nodal agency under the Ministry of Home Affairs that operates the cybercrime reporting portal, helpline 1930, and Suspect Repository that TGCSB relies on. It is the parent national body in the same enforcement ecosystem.
• FBI Cyber Division: U.S. federal law enforcement unit investigating cyber-based terrorism, computer intrusions, and major financial cybercrime. Comparable as a national/federal-level cybercrime enforcement organization with similar investigative mandate.
• UK National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC): UK government organization providing cyber security guidance, incident response, and critical infrastructure protection. Comparable as a publicly-funded national body combining citizen-facing cyber defense with incident response capabilities.

Direct peers

• Karnataka State Cyber Crime Bureau: Karnataka's dedicated state cybercrime bureau handling financial frauds, digital arrest scams, and awareness — directly analogous to TGCSB in scope, scale, and state-level positioning.
• Maharashtra Cyber: State-level cybercrime enforcement cell under the Maharashtra Home Department. Highly comparable to TGCSB in mandate (cybercrime investigation, citizen reporting, awareness) and operating model.
• Delhi Police Cyber Crime Cell: Dedicated cybercrime unit within the Delhi Police handling fraud, social media abuse, and financial scams — a peer state-level/UT-level cyber enforcement operation serving a major Indian urban population.

Others

• National Critical Information Infrastructure Protection Centre (NCIIPC): Central government body under NTRO responsible for protecting critical information infrastructure. Adjacent to TGCSB's mission but focused on infrastructure cyber defense rather than consumer-facing cybercrime investigation.
• Interpol Cybercrime Directorate: International law enforcement coordination hub for cross-border cybercrime investigations. Relevant peer given TGCSB's cross-border work (e.g., Myanmar rescues), though it operates at a global rather than national level.
