The government is organising a Hackathon to develop applications and tools that would help law enforcement agencies leverage the 5G technology for better policing. The Hackathon would be exploring “360-degree surveillance” and “predictive policing” – among other topics.
Rajesh Kumar, CEO of the Indian Cybercrime Coordination Centre (I4C) said that 5G enables faster data transfer and it will help police make better decisions at a scene of crime as information can be relayed to the headquarters at a higher speed.
When asked about financial frauds such as loan apps emanating from countries like China, Mr. Kumar said, “We are seeing many financial frauds being perpetrated from outside the country. The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) is working with banks, Financial Intelligence Units, Department of Telecommunications to combat this. Every day new technology is emerging. We are in touch with government and non-government entities to prevent such malicious acts.”
