How Mumbai team of 6 cyber cops is foiling suicide bids and saving lives

A team of six from the Cyber Police has been acting on alerts shared by Meta about Facebook or Instagram users posting suicidal thoughts. Meta closely monitors text, videos and images — ranging from a ceiling fan to a knife to poison or pills — that may signal a user’s intention to take the drastic step. Between January and April 2023, the Cyber Police has thus averted 31 suicide bids across India. This work of tackling alerts is done alongside their regular job of solving online crimes.
