Law Minister Anisul Huq on Saturday said section 42 of the proposed Cyber Security Act (CSA) will be applied only if the necessity arises for taking immediate actions against any cybercrime, reports BSS.
"There are some areas (in cyber offence) where immediate action is required. Only in such cases, section 42 will be applied," he said while speaking as the chief guest at the 4th conference of the Broadcast Journalists' Centre (BJC) at Bangla Academy Auditorium here, said a press release.
Section 42 of the Cyber Security Act has a legal requirement as the job of police personnel is to stop crimes, which are likely to be committed, arrest the criminals and expose them to trial, and collect evidences, Anisul said, adding, in some cases, immediate evidence is required to expose the criminals to trial.
