Hyderabad Police Launch ‘She Netra’ Teams to Detect Hidden Cameras, Strengthen Women’s Safety
In a major initiative aimed at enhancing women’s safety and protecting personal privacy, the Hyderabad City Police have launched specialized ‘She Netra’ teams to identify and curb the misuse of hidden cameras in public and private spaces across the city.
The initiative was formally introduced by Hyderabad Police Commissioner C.V. Anand and senior officials, marking a proactive move to address growing concerns over unlawful surveillance and privacy violations.
According to officials, seven dedicated She Netra teams have been deployed initially. These teams are equipped with advanced technology to detect concealed cameras installed in locations such as hotels, hostels, paying guest accommodations, changing rooms, washrooms, and other sensitive areas.
The police said the teams will carry out regular inspections, surprise raids, and complaint-based checks to ensure that establishments comply with privacy and safety norms.
Speaking on the occasion, officials emphasized that the department is combining modern surveillance-detection tools with strong field enforcement to create safer environments for women and the general public.
Authorities also warned that strict legal action will be taken against individuals or organizations found installing or using hidden cameras illegally.
As part of the new safety framework, businesses and institutions have been instructed to strengthen internal monitoring systems, conduct periodic inspections, and immediately report suspicious devices or privacy breaches to the police.
The Hyderabad City Police urged citizens to remain vigilant and report any concerns, stating that the She Netra initiative reflects the department’s commitment to safeguarding dignity, privacy, and security in urban spaces.
