Cybercrime PS to be inaugurated in Hanamkonda today

In the wake of surge in cybercrimes, a specialized cybercrime police station will be inaugurated in Hanamkonda on April 2. The special police station, which will come up within the Warangal Police Commissionerate limits, will investigate cybercrimes involving amounts exceeding ₹1 lakh, while victims of lower-value incidents will be directed to their local police stations.

In recent times, people across both urban and rural areas of the combined Warangal district have fallen prey to various types of fraudulent schemes orchestrated by cybercrooks, resulting in significant financial losses.

“Responding to the alarming surge in cybercrimes, the State government has established a dedicated cybercrime police station within the commissionerate limits,” said Warangal Police Commissioner Ambar Kishor Jha.
