Top cybercrime investigation organization ‘National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency’ (NCCIA) has decided to summon as many as 50 YouTubers and social media account holders who are allegedly involved in disseminating false information during proceedings of May 9 cases.

ET reported on Sunday that the NCCIA has shortlisted around 50 YouTubers and social media accounts that allegedly disseminated false information during the proceedings. The NCCIA is issuing notices in the first phase. If the accused fails to provide satisfactory responses, cases will be registered against them.

Meanwhile, days ago, The Profit reported that the NCCIA received as many as 50,563 cybercrime complaints during three months from April to July 2025. Deputy Director of Operations at the NCCIA, Usman Khan has been reported saying investigations were launched for 7,247 of these complaints, resulting in the registration of 457 First Information Reports (FIRs) whereas as many as 690 individuals have been arrested. In addition, 22 convictions were secured in court.

Under “Operation Grey,” the NCCIA focused on foreign cybercriminals operating through international call centres, recovering millions of rupees as a result. The most common crimes reported during this period were financial fraud, blackmail, harassment, and hacking. The NCCIA’s efforts are supported by 14 regional circles, which actively assist in investigations. The agency is increasing its use of modern technology and a trained workforce to expedite its work. The public is encouraged to report cybercrimes promptly to regional circles or through the agency’s helpline for swift action. The NCCIA also plans to ramp up its public awareness initiatives in the near future.
