India Jun 20, 2025

Telangana's Cyber Security Bureau has cracked down on a disturbing online network, arresting 15 people—including some highly educated professionals—for sharing child sexual abuse material.
The group is accused of uploading and distributing obscene content involving minors, mostly girls between six and 14 years old.

Suspects in judicial custody as investigators look into organized crime links

The arrests followed 57 cyber tipline complaints and exposed a syndicate operating across cities like Hyderabad and Karimnagar. Most victims seem to be foreign nationals.
Police have filed 34 cases under IT and POCSO Acts, with all suspects now in judicial custody as investigators look into possible links to organized crime.
This operation highlights the Bureau's push to protect kids from online exploitation.
