Speaking to newspersons here on Tuesday, MPA's Deputy Director Ritesh Kumar said the police officers and staff from all over state will be provided proper training as white-colored-crimes are on rise.        

Solving on line frauds such as phishing, purchasing on one's credit card, hacking transactions through credit cards and threatening messages using e-mail were a challenge before police, Ritesh kumar added.
