Special Forensic Lab To Tackle Cyber Crime SoonBy Mrs Gupta, Section Development
Kolkata police will soon be launching a specialised forensic laboratory to fight cyber crime.
This is going to be a first in the state, equipped with hi-tech software, said Gyanwant Singh, Deputy Commissioner, Detective Department. The laboratory will have arrangements for digital forensic tests through which data theft can be countered. A New Alipore-based technical solution provider has been assigned to design and develop the project and provide training to the policemen. "We have started work and hope to finish within three months," said Nabin Jaisawal of the technical solution provider. Nasim Ali, a tech-savvy officer in the Kolkata Police headquarters who will be leading the unit, said: "We will get the latest software, through which deleted images or material could be regained from hard discs. Ideally, we'll be in a position to detect cyber crimes which is now growing fast in the city."
The state home and law departments will train upto 240 people, including 160 public prosecutors and 80 police officers, at the National University of Juridical Sciences in the last week of June, said R S Rawat, director of public prosecution, West Bengal. The training will help prosecutors to increase the "conviction rate", he said.
From 12 cyber crime cases in 2005, the figure rose to 20 last year. Manoj Kumar Verma, DC-DD (II) said in the last couple of years the department had solved some unique such cases, which had international ramifications. Arrest of Sanjay Kedia, CEO of Xponse IT India Pvt Ltd, who allegedly had sold narcotics over the Internet and was maintaining a huge establishment of 350 employees with a big office, was one of the serious cases. In August 2006, his department had also arrested one Rinki Jain, based on a complaint received from USA. Under the cover of an online marketing firm, Calcutta Web, she allegedly had lifted money from others' credit cards. "We have busted an online prostitution racket and arrested the culprits about a year ago. That is one of our major successes in the field," he said. (Source - Indian express, 31/05/07)
