With an aim to identify virtual troublemakers who spread rumors through instigating posts and videos on social media platforms, and speed up investigation, the Cyber Crime Monitoring Cell of Counter Terrorism (CT) unit of Chittagong Metropolitan Police is going to launch a Cyber Lab, reports The Daily Star on January 28. According to CT sources, the United States under its Anti-Terrorism Assistance (ATA) programme will set up the lab in the port city with their own funds. Representatives of the US embassy visited the CT office in November 2019 in this regard. According to police, there are two cyber labs - one in Criminal Investigation Department (CID) and other in Counter Terrorism and Transnational Crime (CTTU) unit of Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP). CID has a Digital Forensic Lab, which was installed in 2012 and officially inaugurated in 2017 while CTTU’s lab was set up on October 15, 2019.
