Haryana Police to set up cyber response centres in every district: DGP

Haryana Police has decided to create cyber response centres (CRCs) in every district of the state to effectively tackle cyber offences, Director General of Police (DGP) Manoj Yadava said here on Thursday. He said these CRCs would be created keeping in view the emerging challenges and increasing cyber threats owing to digitisation.

All cyber-related complaints regarding bank frauds, misuse of payment gateways etc would be dealt with in these centres, which would be created within the existing cyber cells of the state police, he added.

The DGP said the spread of coronavirus led to a surge in cybercrime as fraudsters started exploiting the situation and the uncertainty generated by the pandemic to target individuals and enterprises.
