Surat: A seminar was held for legal officers and city police officials on handling cybercrime cases on Saturday in Surat. At the event police’s enforcement of the Gujarat Control of Terrorism and Organised Crime (GUJCTOC) Act was appreciated by principal district judge V K Vyas.
“Criminals involved in organised crime fear getting involved in criminal activities due to strict enforcement of GujCTOC by Surat police. I worked at many places in Gujarat and have been posted for the first time in south Gujarat. I found that many serious crimes are taking place but the detection is also done effectively by police,” said Vyas.
Describing his observation about the presence of associates of GujCTOC accused in court campus Vyas said, “I noticed that people known to these accused come to court campus during the hearing of the cases. We should ensure that any incident like Rohini court does not take place.”
Describing it as a unique event, city police commissioner Ajay Tomar said, “For the first time police, prosecutors, judges, collector and other senior government officials are present on the same dais. Through such events everyone will benefit.”
District government pleader, Nayan Sukhadwala, said, “Cybercrime will increase with time and we need to equipped further.”
He described the importance of Forensic Science University in Gandhinagar and its courses on cybercrime.
District collector, Aayush Oak, said, “Electronic evidence will become one of the most important tools in investigations.”
