Retired Vigilance SP Suryamani Tripathy while speaking on the occasion said “the youth today needs to be shown the right path, streamline their latent energy as they are losing track of their vision in the name of thrill and challenge. They are getting into unnecessary problems as many are admitting that they are playing such games as they are depressed.’’

The retired cop spoke about various categories of cyber crimes in India as it is the 5th nation in terms of cyber crime in the world with 13 lakh cases registered in the country. Currently Maharashtra is registering the highest number of cyber crime cases in India.
