Surge in cyber crimes, 3 new stations set up in Gurgaon

The Haryana home department has sanctioned 21 new cyber police stations across the state, of which three have been set up in Gurgaon to handle a surge in cyber crime cases.

The three new stations – one each in South, Manesar and West zones – began functioning on Friday, said police officers. Prior to this, Gurgaon had one cyber crime police station in Sector 43, which has now been assigned for the East zone. Officials said that Gurgaon is the only district in Haryana to have four such stations.

Earlier this year, Haryana Home Minister Anil Vij had said that every police district should have at least one cyber police station to deal with rising incidents of cyber crimes.
