This could also be true of other police organizations, and the reason why Delhi has been singled out is because, by and large, the Police in the national capital has always been a cut above others.
It is evident that in the past few years, the men in Khaki have slipped and thus need to be reminded that they have a duty to perform, and their lazy and laidback attitude was unpardonable. While it is for the Central government to figure out the causes of this approach and address the problems, the citizens continue to suffer.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday in his Man ki Baat spoke about the issue of digital arrest and how criminals have managed to defraud people of crores of rupees. An industrialist was duped of huge sums and there was also this instance of the cheats impersonating the Chief Justice of India by setting up a fraudulent court through some methods.
The Prime Minister is right. People must be made more aware of the perils and dangers of cybercrime. However, those who are supposed to prevent or sort out this kind of activity also need to be more diligent and well-equipped to deal with the emerging situation.
The government has given out helpline numbers and website IDs to register such complaints. What needs to be ascertained is whether these measures work, or are capable of providing adequate response at an appropriate time. More than the equipment which is at hand, the personnel who man these helpline numbers etc. have to show more enthusiasm in handling matters.
