Hyderabad: Hyderabad police launched She Netra Teams to curb hidden cameras and strengthen women’s safety across public and private spaces in the city.
Police Commissioner V. C. Sajjanar introduced seven special teams, with one unit assigned to each zone in the commissionerate. Officials trained these teams in two phases on advanced camera detectors and standard inspection procedures.
The commissioner handed over detection equipment to the teams at a programme held at the old commissionerate office in Bashirbagh on Friday. He said the initiative aimed to prevent privacy violations in places such as hotels, malls, hostels, hospitals, and educational institutions.
Sajjanar said the She Netra Teams would conduct surprise inspections across the city using technology-driven tools. He added that police would take strict action against those who install hidden cameras in private areas.

He warned that managements of establishments would bear full responsibility for ensuring that no surveillance devices exist in sensitive spaces. If officials detect violations or negligence, police will register criminal cases under relevant laws.
He said authorities may also blacklist institutions and take action against responsible employees if they fail to comply. Therefore, he urged establishments to strengthen internal monitoring systems.
The commissioner advised institutions to appoint a Customer Safety In-Charge to coordinate with She Teams. He added that police would train these officials and guide them on safety protocols.
He also asked managements to procure camera detection devices and conduct regular internal inspections. According to him, continuous monitoring remains essential to prevent misuse.
Sajjanar said women’s safety requires collective responsibility. He urged the public to report suspicious devices through Dial 100 or 112, or contact the She Teams helpline at 9490616555.
