Referring to review of cybercrime trends, arrests and execution of PT warrants, he said the crime pattern changed from traditional to cybercrimes due to digitalization and technology advancement.
“The TSCSB will monitor information related to arrested persons in cybercrime cases across the country and establish crime links after analyzing and sharing those links with the units of Telangana for PT warrant executions,” he said.
Cyberabad Police Commissioner and TSCSB Director Stephen Raveendra, who coordinated the workshop, explained the role of officers in controlling cybercrimes.
