There was no separate police station for cyber crime complaints in the Thane Police Commissionerate area. Hence, the police were investigating through the Cyber Crime Investigation Cell. A few months ago, the construction of the cyber police station near the police commissionerate headquarters was completed. On Tuesday, the Cyber Police Station was made operational in the presence of Thane Police Commissioner Ashutosh Dumbre and other officials. Six officers and 30 police personnel including a senior police inspector will be working in this police station.
