Hon’ble Law Minister Mr Veerappa Molly while addressing a seminar for Judges, head of Police force and prosecution of state, called for Cyber Crime Police on National Level on the lines of US and South Korea. Further he pressed for special training for the Police force, so that they are better equipped and trained to deal with all kinds of internet bugs.
Further, he added “there were many impediments that needed to be overcome soon. While a vast majority of the police force or prosecutors in the country had no experience of tackling cyber crime, judges too lacked experience in appreciating evidence in such cases. As cyber crime knows no geographical boundary, the absence of international cooperation between police forces adds to the woes of victims and lets the culprit go scot free”.
Attorney General G E Vahanvati also pointed out the danger potential of cyber crime and right;y added that the cyber crime has been extended to mobile phones, which could be used to bombard a victim with messages and send illicit MMSes.
Lastly, Supreme Court judge and Cyber Law Enforcement Committee chairman, Justice Altamas Kabir, called for the need for expanding the definitions of various crimes listed in the law, in view of the growing cyber crimes.
