CBI to get centralised tech vertical by 2020
The government has decided to set up a centralised technology vertical in the Central Bureau of Investigation to handle complex financial crimes like the 2G scam, coal block irregularities, Ponzi schemes and capital market scams. The CTV would be operational by next year, said the Minister while speaking at the first National Conference on Cybercrime Investigation and Forensics, organised by the CBI at its headquarters. Highlighting Prime Minister Narendra Modi's thrust on optimum use of technology in programmes like Digital India, GeM, Aadhar and the Jandhan scheme, amid widening use of computers and technology, Singh said, "The second thrust of the government has been on clarity in fight against terrorism and decisive actions have been taken." Speaking on the occasion, CBI Director Rishi Kumar Shukla said the conference was a platform for state police and enforcement agencies to share and replicate their best practices. Around 50 officers, including Director Generals of Police, Additional Director Generals of Police, Inspector Generals of Police, Deputy Inspector Generals of Police and Superintendents of Police dealing with cybercrime, central agencies, the Ministry of Home Affairs, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, and experts from law enforcement agencies and academia attended the conference.
