Hyderabad: A five-day workshop for dark web investigators began at the Telangana State Police Academy on Monday. City Police Commissioner CV Anand inaugurated the workshop, which is being attended by police officials from across the country.
Addressing the trainees, Anand said the State government and the Telangana police were spearheading digital initiatives in policing and had an impressive record in training thousands of police officers. He gave examples of 15 types of cyber frauds, especially those involving loan apps which have led to suicides by three people in the last 10 days and how it was very difficult to investigate and catch perpetrators in such cases.
“The recent detection of the Mahesh Bank hacking case and the Xsilica e-payment gateway hacking case show that it is possible to investigate these cases and that it requires special expertise and resources to do so. Even narcotic drugs are being trafficked using the dark web as the Telangana police had launched a crackdown,” he said.
