The five police stations will also reduce the burden of local police stations which also handled cybercrime cases with help of the Cyber police station. Increased law enforcement in terms of cybercrime could help a number of data theft, identity theft, spear phishing, online banking fraud cases and also stalking and extortion cases that have been reported in the recent past.
