The She Teams conducted 790 decoy operations at public spaces and caught 49 persons red handed. A total of 10 petty cases were booked and in remaining instances those caught were referred for counseling.

“Regular night decoy operations are done by the She Teams at metro stations, ladies hostels areas, food court, Kukatpally and Madhapur bus stops and other identified hot spots. A total of 159 persons were caught in decoy operations during night and 156 cases were booked,” said the officials.

In one of the cases, the teams were approached by a school teacher who complained that some students from neighbouring schools were coming and frequently harassing girl students. A decoy operation was conducted and 11 minor boys were caught and four bikes were seized from them. All of them were counseled in the presence of their parents and warned against repeating such act again.

In one case at Kukatpally, a doctor was booked for sexually abusing a standard ninth student who had come for treatment. The incident happened in December and came to light in January when the parents were taking the girl to the doctor for treatment. The victim refused to visit the doctor and revealed about the sexual assault to her grandmother.
