GS3 (Internal security - cyber security). Cybercrime crosses State boundaries while police is a State subject, so a central coordinating body such as I4C under the Home Ministry bridges the gap. Implications include the need for State police capacity, speedy data sharing and citizen reporting; the way forward is stronger training, forensic capacity, inter-agency coordination and public awareness.
