India's cyber police are gearing up to tackle online imposters, fraud, and cybercrime with impressive proactive initiatives.

The country's Cyber Crime Police Station (CCS) in Hyderabad, has resolved 1,400 cybercrime complaints in 2019 and plans to open cyber wings in every police station in the city in 2020. The new units will process crime reports and make it easier for locals to file complaints locally.

The Hyderabad City Police, overseen by Avinash Mohanty, aims to enhance its use of AI to analyze crime hotspots and protect women. The CCS will host a 36-hour hackathon in January 2020 to solve online crime.

Residents, such as Nidhi Agarwal, who was scammed out of money, are deeply grateful for the police's hard work in resolving these cases.

The Times of India suggests that the increase in recorded cybercrimes may be due to the new filing processes rather than an increase in actual crimes.

This is an impressive effort to make policing more accessible and proactive! Let's see what these new initiatives will do to tackle cybercrime in the region.
