Five cyber police stations brought under crime branch, to probe fraud cases above Rs 10 lakh

MUMBAI POLICE Commissioner Hemant Nagrale has brought all the newly formed cyber police stations, located in each of the five regions of the city, under the ambit of the Mumbai crime branch.

In a recent order, Nagrale said the five cyber police stations will report to the Deputy Commissioner of Police (Cyber), and subsequently, to the Joint Commissioner of Police (crime). The CP also said the specialised cyber police stations will only investigate the fraud cases in which the amount involved is more than Rs 10 lakh.

The cyber police stations, which were allocated for every region early this year, previously reported to the Joint Commissioner of Police (Law and order) and investigated cases where the amount involved was above Rs 2 lakh.
