Jamshedpur : With cases of cyber crime on rise,, schoolchildren, police officers and officials from Tata Motors Limited joined hands for a rally taken out from from Tata Motors gate in Telco on Wednesday.
East Singhbhum senior superintendent of police Amol V. Homkar, superintendent of police (city) Karthik S. and senior officials of Tata Motors Limited were present.
Organised by district police, the participants of the rally, was the first-of-its kind in the steel city. SP (city) Karthik S. said the rally was being held to spread the bad word about cyber crime.
Concerned over the rising hi-tech, cyber crime cases, the East Singhbhum district police have decided to strengthen its mechanism for controlling cyber crime in the steel city. The crime has shot up this year, going by the increasing number of petitions and complaints that the police are receiving.
All the police officers and policemen have to be computer savvy so that a criminal can be located and nabbed without making any further delay. He pointed out that for making the police stations cyber savvy, they must get the police stations equipped with computers and the necessary accessories.
Recently a 15-day crash-course on criminal and crime tracking network system (CCTNS) was also conducted. The policemen learnt how to handle a computer for speedy detection of crime. But for most of the policemen, computer is an altogether new thing to get on to, the training programme has become a challenge. The cops learn the basic operating systems like Excel, Power Point etc from a professional.
Very recently the district police took 10 days to arrest a youth from Patna for allegedly making vulgar comment to a girl working at a Sakchi-based private courier company office. Though the victim had lodged the complaint a month ago, the police took so much time to nail the culprit.
On earlier occasions also the district police successfully detected several grievous crimes by means of the TSC, but took a long time for this as the police stations have nether the computers nor the trained personnel.
The senior SP, while emphasing the need of revamping the mechanism for tracking cyber crime in the city, said that he would make even the constables — the lowest ranked policeman — trained on how to detect a criminal involved in the cyber crime.
