Five dedicated police stations to tackle cybercrimes are set to come up in Mumbai shortly, one of them this month itself on Republic Day. These police stations will be inaugurated in each of the five regions—North, South, West, East and Central—demarked by the department.

As per a report in The Times of India, more than 2,200 cybercrime cases were registered between January and November last year while the pandemic raged in the city. The most common were scams relating to online liquor/food orders.
