According to Joint Commissioner of Police MS Ahalawat after the incidents of terrorist bombings at Jaipur, Bangalore and Ahmadabad, Section 144 had been clamped in Gurgaon making it mandatory for the cyber café owners to install CCTV cameras and maintain records of their visitors. The police have inspected 35 cyber cafes in DLF Phase-2 and found that five cyber café owners violated these directions, against which case were registered.
