City police launches Zonal Cyber Cells to combat cybercrime
1 2 3 Hyderabad: In another step towards combating cybercrime, Hyderabad city police on Thursday launched Zonal Cyber Cells (ZCCs) across all seven law and order zones in the commissionerate. The move comes in response to an alarming 786% surge in cybercrime cases over the past nine years. City police commissioner C V Anand said that 61 specially trained personnel have been deployed across the seven newly launched ZCCs, including seven inspectors, seven sub-inspectors, three head constables, 36 police constables and eight home guards. "Cybercrime cases in Hyderabad increased from 351 cases in 2015 to 3,111 cases in 2024. The sole Cybercrime police station (PS) is handling all major cases in the city. Law and order police stations are registering the minor cybercrime cases where the loss is below Rs 1 lakh. But due to workload and lack of skills, the investigation sometimes suffers. The ZCCs will bridge this gap," Anand said. The ZCCs is headed by an inspector and will operate from zonal DCP offices. In cases where the loss is below Rs 25,000, local police or ZCC will initiate the process to freeze the amount. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo Investigation of all cybercrime cases where loss is above Rs 25,000 and below Rs 1 lakh will be done by ZCC staff. FIRs and documentation will be done by local police, but arrests and follow-up of trials will be by the ZCC team. If the loss is Rs 1 lakh or above, the main Cybercrime PS will register the case and investigate. In social media harassment or offensive message cases, if the accused are known, law and order police will arrest them. If the offenders are unknown, ZCC will take up the probe. "We will analyse the performance of ZCCs for two to three years and, subsequently, they may be converted into full-fledged Zonal Cybercrime police stations," Anand said. Apart from investigations and arrests, ZCC will also take up awareness work in the zone.

Warrant against senior HSVP officials for delay in land compensation
Gurgaon: A city court on Tuesday directed police to issue a bailable warrant against Haryana Shehri Vikas Pradhikaran (HSVP) and its chief administrator after it failed to pay compensation to a landowner "for years despite a court order". Tired of too many ads? go ad free now An HSVP official, when contacted by TOI, said it will analyse the order and take "appropriate action after obtaining legal opinion". Additional district judge Jagdeep Singh passed the order on an execution petition filed by Nav Rattan Singh through his counsel Jagjeet Singh. Warrants were issued when HSVP repeatedly failed to pay the amount of the enhanced compensation of the acquired land, which was increased by Punjab and Haryana high court in 2017. The court — while passing the order due to payment delay in a case where Pradhikaran had acquired land — directed DCP (HQ) to execute the bailable order, failing which action would be initiated against the official. The court order said DCP (headquarters) shall ensure the execution of bailable warrants, failing which the officer shall have to appear in person on the next date of hearing to explain the reasons for non-execution of the warrant. "This court is left with no other option except to issue bailable warrants in the sum of Rs 10,000 each against the HSVP (Gurgaon) administrator and its chief administrator to be executed through the office of DCP (headquarters) before July 28," the order said. The court said a perusal of the record would reveal that the present execution petition was preferred way back in 2019 and to date, HSVP has not paid the compensation amount to the landowner. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Jagmeet Singh, counsel for the petitioner, said the govt should devise a fair and transparent mechanism so that landowners are paid compensation in a timely manner. He said, "People oppose the acquisition of their land because they are not paid just and proper compensation within the prescribed time." Around half an acre of land belonging to Nav Rattan Singh, situated in the village of Daultabad (Gurgaon), was acquired for the construction of a master storm drain in 1998. However, the amount of enhanced compensation was not paid to the landowner by HSVP. Due to this, landowner Singh filed an execution petition before the district judge (Gurgaon) in 2019. Even after nearly six years of filing the execution petition, HSVP did not pay the amount.

MP Police speed up preparation for PM Modi's programme in Bhopal on May 31
Bhopal: Madhya Pradesh Police have sped up their preparation for the mega convention which will be addressed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi at Bhopal's Jamboree Maidan on May 31. A five-kilometre radius around Jamboree Maidan has been declared a no-fly zone; a notification in this regard was issued by the Bhopal district police on Wednesday. "All forms of aerial objects such as drones, paragliders, hot air balloons and other flying devices are strictly prohibited in a five-kilometre radius of Jamboree Maidan between 6 am to 4 pm on May 31," said a directive issued by DCP (Intelligence security) Bhopal. It further added, "Violation of this order will be considered a breach of law and offenders will face legal action under section 223 of the BNS." As it would be a women-specific event, which is being organised to mark the occasion of the 300th birth anniversary of Lokmata Ahilyabai Holkar, a revered Maratha queen, all security arrangements will be handled by women cops. Over 1,500 women commandos and 3,000 personnel have been deployed to secure the venue, with traffic and crowd control systems being coordinated to avoid disruptions. Senior IPS officer Sonali Mishra will oversee a robust, multi-layered security network. Of the 90 senior security officials deployed, 47 are women, including four Superintendents of Police (SPs) and 11 additional SPs. The command posts, monitoring rooms, and convoy security will see women personnel in charge, as well as the helipad within the event premises will be handled by women cops. More than two lakh women associated with Self-Held Groups (SHGs) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) from across Madhya Pradesh will be attending the programme. The state BJP unit has also planned to deploy more than 3000 women workers to assist the security personnel. On this occasion, PM Modi will also launch metro rail projects in Indore, inaugurate new ghats along the Shipra River in Ujjain, and lay the foundation stone for the Singhasth Mahaparv 2028 preparations.
