PUNE: The Pune
police have formed five specialized teams to investigate and detect cybercrime
cases,
including online matrimonial and job frauds. “It has become a necessity that
police embrace
the professional approach towards such crimes by improving their
efficiency and expertise.
To check the rising cybercime cases, five teams have been
formed, each of which is being headed by a police inspector and has a
sub-inspector and 3-4 constables as other members,” deputy commissioner of
police (cyber) Sambhaji Kadam.
Each team would investigate specific type of crime, for which
they have already been trained. “The members will upgrade their knowledge,
techniques and procure softwares for the detection of a particular crime,” he
said, adding that a team would only focus on online job frauds, while another
on matrimonial website frauds.
“A dedicated team will just investigate banking and card
frauds, while another will probe crimes happening on social media, such as
defamation and obscenity. The teams will coordinate with officials of different
websites and cellphone application to solve these crimes as soon as possible,” Kadam
said.
These five teams will be
posted at the cybercrime police station at Shivajinagar, which started
functioning independently on Tuesday. It has five inspectors, nine-sub
