“Our goal is to provide a safe environment for citizens” – IG Srivastava
Udaipur: A two-day range-level training workshop on “Cybersecurity Empowerment for Smart Policing” concluded on Tuesday at Geetanjali Institute of Technical Studies, Dabok. The program was organized under the Udaipur Range Police in collaboration with UNICEF Rajasthan as part of the Policing for the Care of Children initiative, focusing on the prevention of cybercrime and public awareness.
The workshop was held under the direction of Inspector General of Police, Shri Gaurav Srivastava, and guidance of Nodal Officer ASP Harsh Ratnu. Renowned cybercrime and operations expert Ishan Sinha delivered detailed sessions via PowerPoint on topics such as digital arrests, APK files, mobile forensics, AI techniques, and methods to prevent cyber fraud. Participants were trained to remain vigilant, use technology effectively, and raise awareness among the public.
Shri Gaurav Srivastava congratulated the organizers and participants for the successful completion of the workshop. He emphasized that cybersecurity empowerment for smart policing has become an urgent need in today’s digital age. “The nature of crime is evolving rapidly, and we must enhance our skills and technical capabilities accordingly. Cybercrime is not only a technical challenge but also a serious concern for social, economic, and national security. It is our responsibility to remain technically competent, alert, and sensitive while cracking down on cyber offenders to provide citizens with a safe environment,” he said.
Nodal Officer ASP Harsh Ratnu highlighted that the workshop covered the latest trends in cybercrime, digital evidence collection, cyber forensic techniques, social media monitoring, and cyber laws. He stressed that the training should go beyond theoretical knowledge and be applied in practical policing. Sindhu Binujit, UNICEF Rajasthan’s Udaipur Range Child Protection Advisor, thanked all dignitaries, experts, and participants, encouraging them to use the learnings to provide swift relief to victims and raise public awareness. She expressed confidence that the workshop would strengthen smart, transparent, and accountable policing.
On the second day, Ishan Sinha elaborated on legal procedures against cyber offenders and the specific legal provisions applicable to different cybercrimes. He noted that as technology advances, cybercrime is also increasing rapidly. Issues such as mobile-based scams, phishing attempts by impersonating bank officials, misuse of ATM and banking details, MMS/video harassment of women, sending obscene messages, harassment calls, and other crimes via WhatsApp and social media were discussed. Police officers were urged to remain alert and monitor such groups closely.
Dr. S.M. Prasanna Kumar, Campus Director of Geetanjali Institute of Technical Studies, also shared his views. Officers from all cyber police stations in the Udaipur range, cyber cells, the Women Crime & Research Unit, and the Anti-Human Trafficking Unit participated, along with GITS representatives Dr. Chintal Patel, Dr. Ajit Joshi, and program team members Dilip Salvi, Sunil Vyas, and college management representatives.
