Curated summary
India’s cyber agency has blocked 81 online betting and gambling apps in 2025 under the anti-money laundering law, the government told Parliament. The ministry also said the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre has notified more than 1,400 URLs and websites tied to illegal activity, while state police remain responsible for enforcement under state laws. The update sits inside a broader cybercrime push that includes the 1930 helpline, a national reporting portal, and large-scale link blocking for financial fraud.
