Akshay didn’t stop at sharing the incident. He took the opportunity to appeal to the authorities, urging action to protect children.
“I would request the Chief Minister that in Maharashtra, schools should have a weekly ‘cyber period’ for students in the seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth standards. During this period, children should be taught about the dangers of cybercrime,” he suggested.
The actor emphasized the seriousness of the issue, comparing cybercrime to traditional street crime. “This crime is growing faster than street crime. It is very important to stop it,” Akshay said.
