Police action in mere 60% plaints of cyber frauds in Prayagraj

PRAYAGRAJ Even as instances of cybercrimes are on a rise, the Prayagraj police unit has only been able to take action in 60% of the complaints relating to the digital space, according to official records. While the network of cyber conmen is spread across the state, cops are struggling to ensure action on all complaints of cyber frauds due to lack of manpower and other facilities.

Records also reveal that after Agra, Prayagraj district is witnessing the highest number of cyber frauds in the state. Conmen are duping cash worth several crores from people under different pretexts. However, despite a large number of such complaints, their disposal is quite slow.

In case of cyber frauds, people usually call on helpline number 1930 for making complaints. Moreover, complaints are also being registered through online portal.
