Kerala Police launches CLICK to make the State cyber-resilient, with Mammootty as its Cyber Security Captain

31 October 2026

Kerala Police has started a public campaign against online fraud called CLICK, short for Community-Led Initiative for Cyber Resilient Kerala.
It was planned by the Cyber Wing of the police under the Home Department, and its stated goal is a fully cyber-resilient State by 2027.
Home Minister Ramesh Chennithala opened it at the Rajiv Gandhi Indoor Stadium in Kochi and named actor Mammootty the police force's Cyber Security Captain.
The minister said stopping cybercrime before it happens matters more than investigating it afterwards.
Kerala registered more than 54,000 cyber fraud complaints last year.
Ten students received CLICK Captain caps from Mammootty, and people were told to report fraud at once on the helpline 1930.

Campaign: CLICK Target year: 2027 Cyber fraud complaints last year: more than 54,000 Helpline: 1930

Why it matters for exams: CLICK's expansion, its 2027 target and the national cybercrime helpline number 1930 are standard current-affairs and general-awareness facts.
