Haryana DGP goes undercover to check Cyber Crime police station’s response

Haryana DGP OP Singh conducted a surprise inspection at Gurugram’s Cyber Crime Police Station (East), posing as a digital arrest scam victim to assess the complaint process and assistance quality. The sentry guided him to the investigating officer, explaining the filing process.

Singh reviewed the police station’s functioning, victim assistance, response system, and awareness framework. He praised the sentry’s uniform and name plate.

After the inspection, Singh shared key steps to prevent cybercrimes, provide relief to victims, and enhance public awareness. The Haryana Police will hold banks responsible for compensating victims if negligence is found in cyber-fraud cases. The police will seek Lok Adalat’s help to quickly provide financial relief to victims.

The DGP emphasised awareness campaigns, forming Cyber Awareness Ambassadors in schools and colleges to educate peers on cybercrime prevention. He warned citizens about cyber fraudsters exploiting fear and greed, urging them to stay alert and report suspicious activities on the Cyber Helpline 1930.

Singh assured the Haryana Police is working to combat cybercrime, ensure justice for victims, and enhance digital safety.
