The Kerala Police announced plans to collaborate with both public and private sector banks to enhance efforts against cyber financial frauds. This initiative includes forming a Joint Cyber Committee to oversee cybercrime cases, improve investigation processes, and address emerging threats like 'digital arrest' scams. The strategy aligns with guidelines from the Indian Cybercrime Coordination Centre (I4C) and involves strengthening bank account analysis, collecting digital evidence, and establishing a 24-hour helpline for cybercrime reports.
