How CM Yogi's Task Force Is Combating AI Scams and Cyber Fraud in Mahakumbh 2025

LUCKNOW: To safeguard devotees attending Mahakumbh 2025, the Yogi Adityanath government is fusing modern technology with tradition for the first time in history. Through the deployment of a cutting-edge cybersecurity team and the establishment of a dedicated cyber police station in Mahakumbhnagar, this effort seeks to guarantee the safety of millions of pilgrims from all over the world.

The Uttar Pradesh administration is doing everything it can to combat cybercriminals and improve the experience for participants as the festival prepares to welcome an estimated 45 crore Hindus. Mahakumbh 2025 promises to be a safe, technologically advanced religious event that combats online fraud and raises awareness of digital issues.

A Cybersecurity Barrier for the Biggest Religious Event in the World

With the establishment of a fully functional cyber police station on the fair grounds, Mahakumbh 2025 is the first to place such a high priority on digital safety.

Addressing online concerns, such as the abuse of artificial intelligence (AI), dark web activity, and scams on social media sites like Facebook, Instagram, and X (previously Twitter), is the responsibility of this station.

In charge of this enormous operation, Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Rajesh Dwivedi disclosed that a group of prominent cyber specialists from all around Uttar Pradesh is already at work. These officers are keeping an eye on questionable behavior, spotting phony websites, and acting quickly to eliminate any dangers.

44 False Websites Are Identified, and Action Is Started

The cyber task force has identified 44 dubious websites that use fraudulent schemes and phony links to target believers as part of a proactive crackdown. These websites frequently mimic official portals in an effort to steal confidential data or seek donations. To stop additional harm and eliminate these fraudulent activities, the team is working around the clock.

SSP Dwivedi stated, "We have a strong plan to address any misuse of technology,

 whether it's through malicious activities on social media platforms or AI-driven scams."

Our professionals have the resources and know-how to guarantee devotees stay safe both online and off."

Continuous Cyber Vigilance

The cybersecurity team is functioning in two ways: mobile troops scanning the fairgrounds and stationary officers working from cyber desks. Real-time complaints on bogus social media accounts, phishing efforts, or phony websites can be handled by the mobile units.

During the event, devotees can report problems by calling the newly established helpline number, 1920, which provides prompt assistance for any cyber-related issues, or they can speak with the cyber team personally.

Campaigns for Awareness and Official Websites to Stop Scammers

The government is aggressively marketing its official websites, all of which end in the ".gov.in" domain, in an effort to stop the transmission of false information. The only trustworthy sources of information about events are these sites. Devotees are also being taught how to spot and steer clear of cyber frauds through a comprehensive awareness program.

Pilgrims are urged to report questionable websites or actions to their local police stations, where the cyber squad will take prompt action. The campaign also draws attention to typical fraudster strategies, such phony donation links or phishing efforts produced by artificial intelligence.

Social Media, AI, and the Dark Web Are Being Monitored

In order to identify and eliminate threats on social media and the dark web, the cybersecurity task force has implemented sophisticated monitoring tools. Fraudsters are continuously monitored when they use AI to alter photos or fabricate realistic-looking false accounts. The team focuses especially on frauds that exploit social media sites like Instagram, Facebook, and X to request money.

An official from the cyber team stated, "We want to make sure that every devotee can concentrate on their spiritual journey without worrying about cyber threats." "We are on guard around-the-clock to ensure the safety of the millions attending Mahakumbh."

Spirituality and Safety Collide: CM Yogi's Vision for Mahakumbh 2025

The breadth and scope of the Mahakumbh 2025 preparations, led by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, are unprecedented. In addition to guaranteeing physical safety, the government is tackling the contemporary era's digital issues. Through the integration of technology and spirituality, Mahakumbh 2025 is expected to be a remarkable occasion.

CM Yogi declared, "Mahakumbh is a sacred event for millions, and their safety is our top priority." "Our goal is to make this the most magnificent, safest, and spiritually uplifting Mahakumbh ever."

Ways for Devotees to Be Safe

In order to protect themselves, followers are encouraged to:

Use Official Sources: For information about events, only trust websites that finish in ".gov.in."
Report Scams: To report any suspicious behavior, contact the helpdesk at 1920 or go to the local police station.
Be Alert: Refrain from entering personal information on unapproved platforms or clicking on unknown links.
Check Requests: Watch out for online messages or requests for donations.

Providing Everyone with a Safe Mahakumbh Experience

Mahakumbh 2025 is expected to provide a flawless and safe experience for all guests thanks to a committed cybersecurity team, strong monitoring systems, and public awareness campaigns. In addition to addressing contemporary issues, the government's proactive approach establishes a standard for similar future occurrences.

Mahakumbh 2025 is looking to be a spiritual event unlike any other—safe, inclusive, and unforgettable—by fusing tradition and innovation.
