During the event at Police Headquarters which was attended by around 300 girl students of various colleges across the city, the Delhi Police also launched a series of short films for internet users with an appeal "Fool Nahi-Cool Bane" as part of cyber awareness campaign.
Special Commissioner of Police, Perception Management & Media Cell, Sanjay Singh said that the women and children are among the most vulnerable section, who often fall prey, due to lacking awareness about cyber safety and crimes.
He urged the victims to report the matter as remaining silent gives an opportunity to the perpetrators to repeat similar acts and reiterated that "Not to speak out shall not be an option".
