Telangana initiated ‘Operation Crackdown’ as a statewide, multi-agency drive to aggressively target and dismantle organised cybercrime networks. The campaign focuses on offences such as call centre fraud, digital arrest scams, investment fraud, sextortion, and job fraud. Led by the Telangana Police Cyber Security Bureau in coordination with local police, CID, SIT, and other specialised units, the operation involves coordinated raids, arrests, asset seizures, and intelligence-based actions across districts. The initiative aims to disrupt the entire cybercrime ecosystem, from front-end fraudsters to financial handlers, reinforcing a strict zero-tolerance approach toward cyber offenders.
