Hyderabad City Police is successfully exposing the multi-state tentacles of cybercrime through #OperationOctopus. Moving beyond individual fraudsters, we are striking at the very infrastructure that sustains them.
Over the decade, cybercrime has evolved from isolated incidents into a sophisticated ecosystem. To counter this, our teams have neutralised vast networks supplying ‘mule accounts’ and deactivated thousands of ‘ghost SIM cards’ across India.
We are also holding financial institutions accountable for KYC lapses and negligence.
We have engaged with all concerned stakeholders to apprise them of these issues and are confident of a positive response and proactive action in this regard.
Our mission is clear: to ensure a safe digital space for every citizen through relentless action.

‘Operation Octopus’: #Hyderabad Police Dismantles Pan-India Cyber Fraud Syndicate, Bust ₹127-crore Major Cybercrime network Across India
The #HyderabadPolice have executed one of the biggest #CyberCrime crackdowns in recent years under #OperationOctopus
●Over 10 days, 32 special teams raided across 16 states.
● Arrested 104 individuals linked to 1,055 Cyber Fraud Cases including online investment scams, trading frauds, and digital arrest scams.
● A total Cyber fraud amount of approximately ₹127 crore.
●Mule account holders, accounts suppliers, bank officials apprehended for complicity.
●₹36 Lakhs in Cash & 200+ Mobile Phones Seized
The Hyderabad City Police, under the leadership of DCP (Cybercrimes) V. Aravind Babu, IPS, executed a coordinated operation across 16 Indian states, launching a massive crackdown on cybercrime syndicates operating across the country.
Dubbed ‘Operation Octopus’, this initiative was conceived to dismantle cyber fraud networks nationwide. In recent times, there has been a surge in cases of victims falling prey to investment scams, trading frauds, and “Digital Arrest” scams, resulting in the loss of their hard-earned money. Exploiting the trust of unsuspecting citizens, cyber fraudsters have been draining bank accounts through manipulation, intimidation, and emotional coercion.
Recognising the gravity of the situation, Operation Octopus was designed to deliver a decisive blow to these illegal networks. Following an intensive investigation into the rise of such frauds, the Cyber Crime Police Station (CCPS), Hyderabad, identified a nexus of 151 bank accounts used to siphon off victims’ funds.
Through meticulous intelligence gathering and forensic analysis, a complex web of 151 bank accounts were identified as conduits for laundering the proceeds of crime. To dismantle this network:
Breakdown of Arrests:
●Mule Account Holders (86): Individuals who knowingly permitted their bank accounts to be used for layering and laundering illicit funds.
●Account Suppliers/Aggregators (17): Key middlemen responsible for procuring these accounts and facilitating the movement of funds to the masterminds.
●Banking Official (01): In a concerning instance of insider complicity, a Relationship Manager from Bandhan Bank was arrested for colluding with fraudsters to facilitate the opening and operation of fraudulent accounts.
●The apprehended individuals are linked to 1,055 cyber fraud cases registered across India, involving a total fraud amount of approximately ₹127 crore.
The scale of the crackdown is evident from the incriminating material seized:
•Mobile Phones: 204
•SIM Cards: 141
•Bank Passbooks: 152
•Debit/Credit Cards: 234
•Laptops: 26
•Corporate/Firm Stamps: 56
•Cash Seized: ₹36 Lakhs
To execute this massive crackdown, 32 Special Teams were constituted, each spearheaded by an Inspector-rank officer. These teams were simultaneously deployed to legitimate hotspots of cybercrime located in Maharashtra, Delhi, Rajasthan, West Bengal, Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Haryana, Punjab, Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, Uttarakhand, and Odisha.
A. PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES FOR THE PUBLIC:
Investment & Trading Vigilance: Exercise extreme caution regarding "guaranteed returns" or "insider tips" solicited via WhatsApp or Telegram groups. Citizens are advised to verify the legitimacy of any trading platform or application with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) before investing.
"Digital Arrest" Awareness: Please be aware that no law enforcement agency (CBI, Police, Customs, ED, etc.) conducts arrests or interrogations over video calls. Agencies never demand money transfers to "verify" funds or clear names. If you receive such a call, disconnect immediately.
Data Hygiene: Never share OTPs, click on unverified links, or download remote-access applications (such as AnyDesk or TeamViewer) at the behest of strangers.
