Rajeev Krishna, state DGP, launched the facilities in the presence of BK Singh, DG, cybercrime. The launch marks a significant expansion of the state's cybercrime response infrastructure aimed at ensuring faster intervention in financial fraud cases and improving the chances of recovering defrauded funds. Pankaj Kumar, regional director, Reserve Bank of India, inaugurated the centre. Shailendra Kumar Singh, Bank of Baroda GM and State Level Bankers' Committee convenor was also present.
