The Delhi Government has published a new notification constituting a Cyber Police Station in each of the 15 Police Districts in Delhi. The notification says the move was necessary to enquire and investigate cybercrime cases.
The Cyber Police Stations shall have jurisdiction over the whole of the Police District for which the Cyber Police Station is being notified.
Here’s the list of the Cyber Police Stations and their respective locations.
