He said the division has been upgraded under a Deputy Inspector General, trained officers are being deployed to sub-units, and measures are being taken to make investigations more efficient despite their complexity. He noted that about 25 computer-crime complaints are reported daily nationwide, investigations are initiated in each case, and completed matters are referred to court for determination.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Member, as I explained, the Jaffna sub-unit was established only in April this year; previously there was no such unit there. The CID’s Computer Crime Division has been upgraded under a Deputy Inspector General. We have started the Jaffna sub-unit and are receiving complaints. Investigations are complex and take time; we are taking steps to make them more efficient and faster, including deploying trained officers to these sub-units. Upon completion, matters are referred to court, which makes the determinations. Roughly 25 computer-crime complaints are reported daily nationwide; investigations commence on each, and we are working to expedite them.
