LEH, September 21, 2026: Ladakh Police organised a UT-level Training-cum-Workshop for banks and financial institutions at the Conference Hall, Police Headquarters, Ladakh, to strengthen coordination and improve the response to cybercrime and financial fraud cases.
The workshop was organised following an interaction between Ladakh Police and bank representatives, during which officials sought dedicated training on cybercrime-related mechanisms and portals.
Around 22 bank officials participated physically at Police Headquarters, Leh, while more than 20 officials from Kargil, Drass, Zanskar and Nubra joined through video conferencing from respective District Police Headquarters.
Addressing the workshop, Shri Anand Jain, IPS, Director General of Police, Ladakh, stressed the need for close and continuous coordination between the Police and banking sector for timely intervention and effective handling of cybercrime cases.
The DGP also highlighted the importance of robust KYC practices, particularly while opening new accounts, to prevent their misuse as mule accounts for receiving, layering and transferring proceeds of cybercrime. He called for continued vigilance and prompt coordination with police authorities in case of suspicious transactions or activities.
During the workshop, SP, IT PHQ briefed participants on the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal, along with mechanisms under CFCFRMS, Money Restoration Module (MRM) and Grievance Redressal Mechanism (GRM), including their operational aspects in Ladakh.
Sh. Akhilesh Gaur, Deputy Director, I4C, MHA, conducted the main technical session and provided practical demonstrations on the three mechanisms, helping bank officials understand their operational workflow and role in facilitating timely action on cybercrime complaints.
The session was followed by an interactive Question-and-Answer session, where bank representatives raised issues related to cybercrime complaints, portal usage, financial fraud response, police coordination and restoration processes. The queries were addressed by I4C resource persons and the Cyber Team of Ladakh Police.
The workshop concluded with an emphasis on prompt, structured and continuous Police–Bank coordination to strengthen cybercrime investigations and facilitate timely action in financial fraud cases across the Union Territory of Ladakh.
