Cybercrime police in Malkajgiri arrested a woman from Secunderabad for allegedly providing her bank account to cyber fraudsters. The account was used in five fraud cases, including one where a victim lost ₹90 lakh, police said.
The Telangana State government has announced a major reshuffle in the police force, transferring 20 IPS officers to new postings across Hyderabad, Cyberabad, Future City, Malkajgiri, and Siddipet commissionerates.
