Gurugram, June 28
The number of cyber crime cases continues to register an increase here, with 1,900 cases coming to light this year so far. Of these, 1,100 cases pertained to online credit and debit card frauds. The highest number of cases (273), as of now, were registered in May. The number was 250 in March, 179 February, 158 April,142 January and 137 this month. Only 50-odd cases have been solved.
“Many crimes take place due to the negligence of victims. Despite repeated appeals, people continue to share their card details with others. Although a case is immediately registered when such an incident is reported, investigations are time-consuming and lead to delay,” said an official of the cyber crime unit.
He said Internet fraud and social media-related crimes had also registered an increase. People were being duped of money by honey trapping and investment opportunities. Most of the victims in such cases were women, he added. — TNS
