Inspector General of Police (IGP) Benazir Ahmed Monday inaugurated the 'Police Cyber Support for Women' unit at the Rajarbagh Police Lines auditorium in the city, reports BSS.

"So far 6,000 cases have been filed in connection with cybercrimes. Among them, most of the victims are women," he said adding that 68 per cent victims of cybercrimes in Bangladesh are women.

The unit has been launched for helping women to create safe cyberspace for them and provide technical and legal support to them and create awareness among the people against cybercrimes, said Benazir.

Now victim women can file complaints to the unit. Their problems will be solved without disclosing their identity.

Being asked by reporters whether the victim women who will complain to the unit, need to file cases or go to the court, the IGP said they will be provided services as per law. If they need to file cases, they will be advised.

The unit has been introduced under Lawful Interception Cell (LIC) of Police Headquarters.
