Techie from Odisha's Cuttack helps victims of cyber fraud cope with trauma
BHUBANESWAR: The emotional and financial aftereffects of cyber fraud on victims can be overwhelming. Cuttack-based IT professional Swati Das has been on a mission to help such victims come out of the trauma for the last three years, by equipping them with coping mechanisms. She has been volunteering for Bhubaneswar-Cuttack Commissionerate Police for counselling people falling prey to cyber crimes in Bhubaneswar. 'Such crimes can lead to anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD),' said the 32-year-old IT professional. Working from home since 2023, Swati has been associated with various cybercrime awareness programmes organised by the Bhubaneswar-Cuttack Commissionerate Police. 'Cyber crimes disrupt people's psychological and emotional well-being. In many instances, victims develop loss of trust, PTSD, frustration and even suicidal tendencies. Lack of social support in such situations aggravates victims' distress and to counter this, healthy coping strategies should be provided to them,' said Swati. She has conducted cyber awareness and mental wellness workshops in various schools, colleges and private/government organisations and advised more than 1,000 participants including students on coping mechanisms that can be used to deal with the trauma of facing a digital attack. Swati is the only woman volunteer for Commissionerate Police's cyber crime awareness programmes that the latter has been organising regularly since the last three years. She has been trained in mental health counselling by the IT firm she is employed with under its 'Supporting Mental Health' initiative.

NIA records statement of Cuttack family
Cuttack: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Tuesday recorded the statements of a Cuttack-based family who survived the Pahalgam attack, officials said. A three-member team of the NIA met the family of Ranjit Bhol (69), who, along with his wife Sashi Kumari Nayak (65), younger son Sandeep (35) and daughter-in-law Lelina Subhadarshini (33), were in Baisaran in Pahalgam on April 22 when the attack took place, they said. The investigators spent two hours at their residence in Deuli Sahi in Tulasipur. The NIA had on April 26 recorded the statement of Priyadarshini Acharya, wife of Prashant Satpathy, who was among the 26 persons killed in the attack. The Bhol family had told multiple news channels on Sunday that they witnessed the killing of three tourists by terrorists. 'They killed three persons within a distance of 5 feet to 10 feet from me,' said Sashi Kumari, who had gone to Kashmir to celebrate the third wedding anniversary of her son. She had fractured her left hand and right leg while attempting to run from the gunfire. 'Lord Jagannath and Sai Baba saved me and my family,' she said. Her son, Sandeep, claimed that he had to kneel in front of the terrorists and recite the 'kalma' to save himself. 'However, I was all along thinking about Lord Hanuman. Though I used to wear a locket having a photo of Lord Hanuman, that day I had missed it. Probably, that was the wish of the lord, because of which I could escape such a major tragedy,' he said. 'I have seen terrorists killing people from close quarters,' Sandeep said, recounting that he had asked his mother to remove the 'bindi' from her forehead. His father, Ranjit, said those who died received bullet wounds either on the head or the chest. 'The incident took place only 15 minutes after we reached the spot. We had clicked pictures before hearing the gunshots,' he said. Ranjit said the security personnel rescued his injured wife and took her to the hospital to treat her. 'Though they wanted us to stay in the hospital, we lied to the doctor that the injury did not happen at the site of the attack,' he said, noting that they were in a hurry to leave Kashmir.
