Mangalore, Oct 18: To combat cyber crime and tackle cases of online financial fraud, a cyber crime police station was recently sanctioned by the government to the Western Range of Karnataka State Police.

The police station is expected to be established in the building of Mangalore East and South Traffic police stations at Kadri, and will also cover Mangalore City Police Commissionerate limits.

The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) will depute police personnel to the cyber crime police station and provide the infrastructure required. The cyber crime police will function under the guidance of Director-General of Police of the CID, said Mangalore City Police Commissioner R Hithendra.

He said that the cyber crime police would probe into cases of online financial fraud involving amounts of Rs 1 lakh and above, while the local police would look into cases of online fraud where loss is lesser than Rs 1 lakh.

The local police will receive assistance from cyber crime police wing while dealing with cases of pornographic and inflammatory content on social networking sites. All cases registered under the IT Act will be investigated by the local police with the help of cyber crime police, he said.

It is likely that the new cyber crime station would start functioning in a few weeks' time.

Udupi: Falling prey to a sophisticated a “digital arrest” scam, Prameela (39) found herself defrauded of a staggering ₹11,87,463. The plot, orchestrated through deceptive tactics, left her financially devastated.

On October 25, Prameela received a call from an unknown number claiming a parcel, allegedly sent by one Wang Ming Zi, was flagged due to containing suspicious items: 5 kg of clothes, 8 ICICI credit cards, and 700 grams of MDMA. Adding to the urgency, the caller asserted that an FIR had already been filed against her.

The caller then transferred Prameela to a supposed representative of the 'Bombay Cyber Crime Branch,' who introduced himself as Manish Kumar, claiming to be a senior executive at DTDC Mumbai. Manish directed her to connect via Skype video call, asking her to download the app and search for the ID [email protected].

Once on the call, Prameela was requested to provide her Aadhaar card details, which she complied with. She soon received what appeared to be a formal arrest order listing her name, address, and Aadhaar information. Under pressure, Prameela disclosed her bank account details and balance to the caller. Exploiting this trust, the scammer then transferred ₹11,87,463 from her account.

Following the incident, Prameela lodged a complaint with the Shirva police, who have since registered a case under sections 316(2), 318(4), 351(2) of the BNS, and 66(C), 66(D) of the IT Act. The authorities are now investigating this alarming case of digital fraud.
