JK4C holds coordination meeting with Bank Nodal Officers to strengthen response to cyber financial frauds
: Sameer Sharma, IPS, Deputy Inspector General of Police, JK4C, today chaired a coordination meeting with the Nodal Officers of various banks to review key issues relating to cyber financial frauds. He was accompanied by the SSP CIW JK4C, SP OCWC JK4C, and DySP OCWC-1930.
During the meeting, the setting up of a Cyber Fraud Mitigation Centre (CFMC) was discussed, under which bank Nodal Officers will be deployed alongside the 1930 Cyber Crime Helpline team. This arrangement, which is yet to be implemented, is aimed at enabling real-time coordination between police and banks so that defrauded money can be traced and frozen without delay. Banks were directed to act proactively on all CFMC-related points.
The meeting also reviewed the pendency of requests under the MRM/GRM mechanisms and the need for time-bound responses to cybercrime complaints. Bank Nodal Officers were directed to dispose of pending requests promptly, respond to Law Enforcement Agency (LEA) requests in a timely manner, and coordinate closely with JK4C. Operational and legal issues affecting the handling of cyber financial fraud cases were also discussed.
The DIG stressed that minimizing delays at every stage is essential to safeguard the interests of cybercrime victims.
