On the eve of 3rd anniversary celebrations of the cyber lab at the CoD headquarters DG of Corps of Detectives (CoD) D V Guruprasad revealed an incident relating to a multi-crore rupees scam in Belgaum.

“A year ago, there was a multi-level marketing scam to the tune of Rs 200 crore, and it was registered in Bellary. A lot of evidence were seized and on one occasion, when our team went to that police station, the personnel had secured some desktops and laptops. Surprisingly, there were no hard disks in them. The personnel even asked us what is a hard disc,” he said.
