Cyber helpdesk to come up at each police station in Praygaraj

Cyber helpdesk with specially trained policemen would soon be set up in each police station in the district for quick registration of complaints of cybercrime and initiating prompt action, police officials said.

The 15-day special training for such policemen would start from Wednesday, police officials said adding that cops with technical knowledge would be given preference in training.

This initiative has been taken on the instructions of director general of police (DGP) Mukul Goyal, police officials said.

Officials admitted that cases of cyber frauds were on the rise and that even the High Court had pulled up police and banks for failing to control them.
