Raipur Police’s ‘Cyber Ravan’ creating awareness about online forgeries

Raipur (Chhattisgarh) [India]: In a unique way to spread awareness among people about separate ways of online forgeries, Raipur Police have created a ten-headed effigy of Ravan (Cyber Ravan) and kept it at different locations in the city at separate times.

The 10-headed ‘Cyber Ravan’ created by Raipur Police highlights different types of online foregoes being executed by cyber fraudsters taking advantage of people’s lack of awareness.

The forgeries highlighted by the effigy of Ravan include telegram-like share task forgery, OLX army fraud, OTP fraud, loan application forgery, cyber online fraud, sextortion (nude video call) fraud, WhatsApp DP fraud, insurance fraud, online link forgery, and customer care fraud.

The effigy of Cyber Ravan highlights that the lack of people’s awareness is the strength of cyber fraudsters.

Raipur police frequently carry out campaigns to create awareness among people about cyber fraud and keeping the same in mind during this festive season, we have developed a ‘Cyber Ravan’ to spread the message about cyber forgeries and their prevention, additional Superintendent of Police (Crime) Pitambar Singh Patel said.

As people are venturing out for the Navratri celebration and to come out for ‘Ravan Dahan’, we have decided to opt for this method for creating awareness among them, said the ASP, adding that this effigy is being kept at prominent locations across the city.

Presently, the personal details of people as well as their banking details are available online, and through a minor mistake they could fall victim to big cyber fraud, said ASP Patel.

We are equipping this Cyber Ravan with loudspeakers to send the message loud, clear and far, said the ASP.

The effigy of cyber Ravan will be burned by the Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Prashant Agrawal, he added.
