VIJAYPUR, Apr 16: The Police Technical Training Institute (PTTI) Vijaypur organized a lecture on cyber crime awareness to educate police personnel and trainees about the growing threat of online fraud.
The session focused on cyber scams carried out through mobile calls and SMS, which are increasingly targeting unsuspecting citizens.
A three-member team from the Department of Telecommunication, Government of India, led by Rahur Kumar Sachan, DDG (Security) J&K LSA, was invited to deliver the lecture.
The team provided valuable insights into various types of cyber crimes and offered practical tips to avoid falling victim to such frauds.
They emphasized the importance of not sharing sensitive information such as OTPs, bank details and passwords over the phone.
