Hyderabad Police Commissioner V. C. Sajjanar emphasized a strong stance against women’s harassment, especially digital blackmail and cyberstalking. He stated that no perpetrator would escape accountability, with every complaint being taken seriously and legally addressed.
The SHE Teams of Hyderabad police successfully resolved over 1,100 complaints and apprehended more than 3,800 offenders within a year. Through various tactics like undercover operations and technical expertise, these teams caught 3,826 individuals red-handed for different forms of harassment in 2025.
Sajjanar reiterated the unwavering commitment of the Hyderabad police to women’s safety, urging victims not to suffer in silence. He assured that confidentiality and support would be provided to every woman seeking help, emphasizing a victim-centric approach to complaints.
Cases analyzed by the police revealed a concerning increase in cyber-related crimes, with blackmail being the most common issue reported. Offenders often exploited social media to gain trust, later using private content for extortion. The police also noted a rise in “psychological voyeurism” through digital platforms, leading to swift actions by the SHE Teams.
