Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Shirole wrote, "I brought to the notice of the House a critical issue — the rising number of cyber crimes in Pune and the urgent need for five new Cyber Police Stations across the city.

We must ensure banks cooperate fully with investigations and that victims have a real shot at getting their stolen money back," he added.
The Shivajinagar MLA said the Minister of State for Home, Yogesh Kadam, responded positively to his demands and promised that steps would be taken towards making Pune digitally safer and more secure.
