Mangaluru: CEN police station faces personnel crisis amid surge in cyber-crimes


Daijiworld Media Network – Mangaluru (MS)

Mangaluru, May 16: Cyber-crimes are increasing by leaps and bounds. However, there is not enough personnel in the CEN (Cyber, Economic, and Narcotic) police station in the city to apprehend fraudsters and prevent such crimes.

Due to the lack of regular officers, acting officers are in charge of the station, making it difficult to crack cyber-related crimes. An ACP-rank officer has been assigned to prioritize resolving cyber-crimes, but regular inspectors needed for day-to-day operations are not available. For the past two years, regular inspectors have only occasionally visited the station. Currently, the CCB inspector is also in charge of the CEN police station.

On average, 25 complaints are registered every month at the CEN police station. Some FIRs are filed, but unfortunately, many fraudsters are not traced due to the challenge of tracking and apprehending online criminals whose locations are not easily established.

The regular inspector of the Mangaluru CEN police station, Satish Kumar, is on long leave due to ill health. Previously, Ravi Naik managed the station's activities for a short period. Now, Shyam Sundar, the CCB inspector, is handling the CEN police station's activities. The ACP of the CCB has also been acting as the in-charge of the CEN station for the past year-and-a-half.

Ravish Naik, the in-charge ACP of the CEN police station in Mangaluru, said, “The CEN police station in the city will be upgraded soon. A separate ACP will be appointed. Currently, as regular inspector Satish Kumar is sick, CCB inspector Shyam Sundar is overseeing the affairs at the CEN police station. Very soon, a regular inspector will be appointed. The city commissioner of police has provided additional personnel and officers to the unit, and it is working fine now.”

    Even if they have personnel to handle the cases, they indulge in siphoning money from the victims. This is the experience of my friend who also was a cyber crime victim. He left fighting for the case, although he had to spend money on these police computers and jeep tires.....!!!!!!!!????????

    What sort of cybersecurity officers 🤔; just to listen to your sorrowful story and then tell you that your money 💰 is gone with wind and increase your anxiety by telling you "what should have been done and not done" in place of "what can be done" to retrieve the money??
