Mumbai Police unable to solve increasing cases of cybercrime cases in the city.
In Mumbai 3-4 cases of cybercrime are recorded everyday. In the last 2 years, 2,723 cases of cybercrime were registered by the Mumbai Police. The Mumbai Police, only managed to solve 362 cases. The cases of cybercrime are increasing because, it has become very easy to steal money online.
