Rani Mukerji raises awareness against cybercrime at Maharashtra Police event

Mumbai, Oct 3 (UNI) Bollywood actress Rani Mukerji today attended the inaugural function of Cyber Awareness Month 2025 at the Maharashtra Police Headquarters, stressing the growing concern over cybercrime affecting women and children.
