From now on all police stations in Kerala will accept cyber cases
By MYBRANDBOOK
Soon, complaints of online financial fraud will be accepted by all police stations in the state of Kerala rather than being forwarded to cyber police stations. The action is taken in response to a directive by Director General of Police (DGP) Sheikh Darvesh Sahib sent to all District Police Chiefs. At a crime review meeting of the District Police Chiefs the nature and progression of such instances has been discussed.
As of now, all complaints of cyber fraud were directed to the cyber police stations, the specialized units directly under the District Police Chiefs by the local police. It became difficult for the single cyber stations in each district to cope with the rising number of online fraud complaints, affecting their efficiency. Also, there were complaints about local police stations for not helping people who report lost money, instead directing them to cyber police.
The latest direction includes the following measures
· The cyber police station in a district will not directly lodge cases on complaints of online fraud.
· The local police should register cases on complaints relating to cyber frauds that took place within their limits.
· The cases that involve a huge amount of money and those requiring more technological expertise should be brought to the notice of the district police chiefs. The officers, in turn, will hand over such cases to the cyber police after due verification.
· In cases relating to loan apps, the local police should register the case and hand it over to the cyber station concerned. For, only the state cyber operations wing is capable of tracing the origin of these apps and initiating steps for banning them.
· Complaints over defamation through Facebook or online frauds of smaller sums should be investigated by the local police itself. The accused, in such cases, can be traced by the cyber wing in each station. The arrests can be made as soon as the district cyber cell hands over the IP address of the computer or cell phone used by the accused.
Kerala is witnessing more than 300 cyber fraud complaints on a daily basis but only 50 cases are registered on average.
