<p>She got the inspiration of being an officer from her elder brother. His brother once said to her that you should choose a job where you get the privilege to wear a uniform. </p>

<p>In 2009, Srishti became an engineer. After teaching in a college for 6 years, she is today holding the post of DSP. But here is a twist. She could have bagged the position of Deputy Collector. But instead she chose to be DSP. Why? Because she wanted to be a part of the investigation and research done at that post. She opted for a more challenging job.</p>

<p>Q. What are the new challenges in cyber crime? - Srishti says, "Society is a very different place now. Every child has a smartphone now. It has had positive changes but has its drawback too. Many people are not even aware that what they are doing for entertainment is actually a crime. Cyber crime rate is very high. But through awareness, it can be stopped.</p>

<p>Q. How do you manage work and home? - A police officer has to be on duty 24x7. When we start working for cyber crime, we have to find things on internet, start analysing the CDR, track down IP adresses. Sometimes we have to go into dark websites too. But I myself have chosen this profession, so I try to give most of my time to work. </p>

<p>Q. Any very challenging cases you have faced? - On 4 December 2020, there was a fraud case with a famous jeweler of Indore. Some people pretended to be a merchant from Mumbai and made up a story of some family issues. Then they took the money and ran away. For this case we prepared a team of 10 people and started searching. We had to stay at obscurevillages of Rjasthan, Delhi and Mumbai. After hardwork of 30 days, we caught the criminals and brought them to Indore.</p>

<p>Q. How is cyber police different from other police? - Normal police stations take up cases of all crimes. We only take up cases related to crimes that happen on mobile phones, internet or online. We have all the evidences regarding the crime, we just find the criminal. Whereas in normal cases, the team start working on the case and gather evidences. </p>

<p>Q. You are a woman. Any message you want to give regarding it? - I want to say one thing to all the women and girls. Online world is very different. Don't get attracted to its glamour and social life. Be wise in befriending anyone online. Do not involve in online transactions. Do not share personal, private and family details. Criminals use these details to get to you. If anything happens, be alert and report quickly. We have the power to delete the videos and photos from all the platforms. Do not be scared and don't let yourself be blackmailed. </p>
