He also expressed his gratitude to DGP Sahu for the successful organisation of this workshop in Jaipur and congratulated the Rajasthan Police team.
On this occasion, DGP Cyber Crime and SCRB Hemant Priyadarshi described the capacity building programme as a meaningful one, and said that through this, police officers have got an opportunity to understand and learn new dimensions of human rights.
