Hyderabad: Petty complaints diluting serious cyber crime cases

Hyderabad: The National Cyber Security portal of the Union government that is aimed at curbing cyber crimes is being misused by miscreants, who are basically complainants registering petty cases. Conse-quently, police teams from districts and local police stations are at their wits end while trying to trace the complainants.

For instance, a person from Anantapur Rural mandal uploaded a complaint on the portal about Rs 900 that he could not trace and was missing. The complaint was forwarded to the district police, which could not trace the person, who had just provided a phone number and no address.
