Panchkula sits in the Chandigarh Tricity, and its cyber caseload runs through a comparatively affluent, IT and pharma-employed population — higher-value investment fraud, crypto scams and corporate email compromise, alongside the state-level State Crime Branch cyber unit that is also based here. Panchkula has two listed stations: PS Cyber Panchkula for the district itself, and PS Cyber SCB Panchkula, the State Crime Branch's cyber unit.

Frequently asked questions
My case notice mentions the State Crime Branch, not the district cyber cell. Does that change anything?
It can — SCB matters are often multi-district or higher-value, and the representation needs to be addressed to the correct unit. We confirm which before filing anything.
Can anticipatory bail be obtained in a Panchkula cyber FIR?
It can be applied for under Section 482 BNSS before the Sessions Court at Panchkula. It cannot be promised by anyone.
