Jammu, Jan 19: In an attempt to reduce the increasing number of cybercrime cases in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir, every district in the Jammu Division will soon have a cyber unit. According to official sources, every police station is receiving reports of cyber fraud and cyber crime, so in light of this, it has been decided to establish cyber cells in each of the Jammu region’s districts. According to sources, there is now just one operating cyber cell in the Jammu area, and it is overworked, which is delaying the resolution of complaints. They further mentioned that after these units are operational in each district, the specialists in cyber cell technology are training the J&K police to deal with similar complaints.They added that complaints such as phishing, frauds, defamation on social media, and online money frauds are being reported to the cyber cell, which is of a serious nature and needed to be addressed as soon as possible. “At this time, cyber fraud complaints are being registered in respective police stations and are being forwarded to the cyber police station Jammu for redressal,” they stated. Official sources disclosed that the Jammu and Kashmir Police, upon receiving approval from the Police Headquarters, started the process of establishing cyber units in each district due to the ongoing complaints. Notably, Anand Jain, the Additional Director General of Police for Jammu Zone, has also acknowledged this and given the go-ahead for the early establishment of cyber units throughout the Zone.According to an official, “these cells are being introduced at the district level to resolve issues on priority for the convenience of the people battling with cyber fraud complaints.”
