The Mumbai Police have bagged an award for steps to tackle cyber crime and build capacities to address the investigation needs of online space.

The city police bagged the Excellence in Capacity Building of Law Enforcement Agencies’ award instituted by the National Association of Software and Services Companies (NASSCOM) and the Data Security Council of India (DSCI). Deputy Commissioner of Police (Detection, Crime Branch) Dhananjay Kulkarni received the award on behalf of the Mumbai Police.

“As cyber crimes emerged as a big challenge for law-enforcement agencies in India, the Mumbai Police set up a special cell in December 2000 to handle offences taking place in the virtual world,” Mr. Kulkarni said on Friday.
