We have already started working on certain things. Teams to prevent human trafficking have already been formed in almost all districts, we are also working extensively on setting up forensic labs.”
The union minister of state for Home Affairs also said,”Lots of efforts have been initiated, such as immediate filing of FIR into cyber crime cases lodged by the citizens, e-prosecution etc. Lots of such initiatives have been launched, where we can make optimum use of technology, for including forensics into our investigations, for increasing conviction rates, punishing the guilty and to ensure that nothing such sort of happens with the innocent citizens; but from such viewpoints the challenges are increasing.”
