In an effort to improve overall efficiency while investigating cyber crime cases as well as prosecution rates, the State police chief on Saturday issued a circular directing investigating officers (IO) to take extreme care while handling digital evidence. This is to ensure integrity and authenticity while taking the cases to their logical end, said DG&IGP Praveen Sood in the circular. Instead of relying on private players, Mr. Sood asked the IOs to use the support and guidance of staff from the Cybercrime, Economic Offence and Narcotics (CEN) station, Cyber Forensic units of the CID, or the State Forensic Science Lab.More Related News
