Bhopal Cyber crime wing is now armed with a forensic laboratory to clamp down on cyber crimes and bring the online crooks to book. Senior cyber crime officials maintained that a cyber forensic laboratory in the city was the need of the hour, as Bhopalites lost Rs 17.4 crore to online fraudsters in 2022, with a minimal arrest rate throughout the year. The district cyber crime officials will no longer have to depend on state cyber crime officials or Police headquarter (PHQ).
