To combat the rising number of cyber crimes in India, the country`s most modern and biggest cyber lab will come up in Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra deputy chief minister Devendra Fadnavis announced on Sunday. Fadnavis also heads the state`s home portfolio which looks at law and order.

Fadnavis on Sunday inaugurated the Evidence Management Centre (EMC) and the Evidence Despatch Van (EDV) in Navi Mumbai and said the EMC and EDV are the first of its kind in the state, which should be implemented across Maharashtra. "The EMC has no human intervention and the entire procedure of handling evidence through it will increase conviction rates. Instances of hacking and other cyber frauds are on the rise," he said.
