City police to launch Cybercrime Incident Reporting system
The Hindu
This is expected to deliver some relief for victims of financial fraud
In what could bring relief for victims, mainly of financial fraud, the city police are set to launch a Cybercrime Incident Report (CIR) system in the first week of April. Victims can launch a complaint on a call, and the police will work with the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to freeze the beneficiary’s account within the golden period of two hours. A pilot project was launched in the last week of December 2020 and has been deemed a success. “It is a novel, people-friendly system where we try to give immediate relief for victims of cyber crime, especially financial fraud, for the first time in the country,” said Kamal Pant, Commissioner, Bengaluru City Police.More Related News
