Agartala: Tripura will soon launch its first dedicated cybercrime police station to address the rising number of digital and online criminal activities, according to Director General of Police (DGP) Amitabh Ranjan ’s announcement on Thursday.
A 19-year-old from Hyderabad’s Old City is reportedly being tortured in Myawaddy, Myanmar, where he is being forced into cyber scams.
He said, “The insurgency is now resolved for which TSR was formed. “Establishment of a dedicated station to deal with cybercrime is underway, with a few procurements pending before its official launch. We are in the process of doing it fast. Besides, Tripura State Rifles (TSR) jawans now have expanded roles, taking on community policing, law and order maintenance, and urban crime management,” Ranjan stated. But now TSR personnel will participate in new training sessions, including drills with the National Security Guards (NSG), Rapid Action Force (RAF), and Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) to equip them with the skills needed for urban policing and community engagement. After being deceived by a job offer in Dubai, he was taken to Myawaddy and coerced at gunpoint. His family, unaware of the scam, has sought help from external affairs and state authorities for his rescue.
