Pune: 

The number of people coming forward with cyber crime complaints is on a
significant rise. "In a year after the cyber cell of Pune police was
started in July 2003 we had received only nine complaints of cyber
crime. There is a manifold rise as in the year 2008, we have received
2007 cyber crime complaints," said Deputy Commissioner of Police (cyber
cell) Rajendra Dahale, during the opening ceremony of 'Cop Tech"'forum
at Pune police commissionerate on Tuesday. 

The "Cop Tech" forum is an initiative of Pune police, NASSCOM and Data
Security Council of India (DSCI) to increase sharing of ideas and
knowledge on cyber security, for making Pune a cyber safe city. Making a
mention of the cyber crime cases like derogatory content about
Chattrapati Shivaji Maharaj on orkut and film star Amol Palekar's credit
card case, Dahale said that, "Pune police is doing good in tackling
cyber crimes. We have trained many policemen at the cyber lab at
Shivajinagar police headquarters. Through "Cop Tech" forum, we expect
the IT industry and Pune police will share more knowledge and ideas on
cyber safety. Members of 'Cop Tech' forum and police would be holding
quarterly meeting for the purpose."
