JAMMU, Feb 20: The Jammu and Kashmir unit of Shiv Sena staged a strong protest against the rising graph of cyber crimes and criminal cases in the Union Territory.
A large number of Shiv Sainiks gathered under the leadership of Party president, Manish Sahni demanding curb on cyber crimes, fix accountability and make the Cyber Cell of Police hi-tech besides running vigorous awareness campaigns with special watch on outsiders living in J&K.
Sahni said that cyber crimes are taking a heavy toll on Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s dream of Digital India as this menace has spread its web across the nation including the J&K. He said that in the Jammu division, there is an increase of about 35 percent in the registered cases of cyber crime.
“Cyber criminals are not sparing even the devotees visiting Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine by issuing fake tickets of the helicopter to devotees,” he alleged.
He said that countless people are becoming victims of the crime as fraudsters fraudulently obtain information about the bank accounts of the gullible people and siphon off their money from their accounts and also expressed deep concern over the increasing cases of theft, hooliganism and prostitution in Jammu.
Sahni appealed to the Director General of Police Jammu and Kashmir to take strong actions against the fraudsters.
Meenakshi Chhibber, Vikas Bakshi, Rakesh Gupta, Nagina Khan, Rakesh Handa, Praveen Kumar, Bodhraj, Arun and Deepak were present during the protest.
