Director-General of Police

“"The council will function through eight major verticals. At a time when cybercrimes are increasing, people must remain alert. Earlier, stolen goods were sold in places like Jumma Raat Bazaar, but now the ‘Dark Web’ has become such a hub."”

“"Fraudsters are collecting Aadhaar and credit card details and cheating people. Incidents have come to light where people in police uniforms are cheating citizens in the name of ‘digital arrest’. People should be cautious about such phone calls."”
