WazirX, India's largest crypto exchange, conducted a day-long training program for Bhopal Cyber Crime Cell officers. The first-of-its-kind programme with the state cybercrime cell aims to equip the police with knowledge and skills to identify, track and tackle cybercrimes in the crypto landscape. The program training was conducted by Aritra Sarkhel, Director, WazirX, and Anuj Chaudhary, Senior Blockchain & Crypto Analyst, WazirX. It was attended by over 30 police officers including Sachin Atulkar, the Police Commissioner of Bhopal.

The virtual asset industry is pegged at a trillion-dollar valuation and has witnessed INR 6 lakh crore trading volume in 2021. However, every emerging technology has its challenges and it is important to update the law enforcement agencies on methods to tackle these using innovative solutions

Committing to its vision to make crypto accessible to everyone in India, WazirX has devised a training module for the law enforcement community, pan-India. The training includes knowledge of basics of the blockchain, on-chain analysis to flag off suspicious trading activities as per regulatory frameworks, and education on using tools that can prevent such crimes and also identify fraudulent and fair transactions

Lauding the training module, Sachin Atulkar, Police Commissioner, Bhopal, said, “We appreciate the initiative of WazirX to impart commendable training sessions for our officers. The learning for this session will certainly help our able officials to unearth crypto scam-related cases efficiently. We would look forward to more of such sessions from the crypto experts, which will be a win-win for the public-private partnership in this segment.”
