Hyderabad: Telangana Police on Thursday urged harassment victims to report abuse instead of suffering in silence, promising confidentiality and full support.
In a public appeal issued via X (formerly Twitter), the department warned against tolerating any form of harassment, whether on social media or in public spaces. Victims were advised not to internalise trauma, and instead to seek police assistance without hesitation.
The statement assured that officers would maintain discretion and work to resolve complaints with sensitivity. Police said they stand by victims and are committed to offering protection and psychological support through designated wings.
The message was issued in Telugu, reiterating that the police remain accessible and responsive to anyone facing abuse.
సోషల్ మీడియాలో కానీ, బయట కానీ వేధింపులను అస్సలు భరించకండి. మీకు అండగా పోలీసులు ఉన్నారని గుర్తుంచుకోండి. వేధింపులను మీలోనే దాచుకొని కుమిలి పోవద్దు. భరోసా అందించేందుకు పోలీసులు మీకు తోడుగా ఉంటారు. మీ వివరాలు గోప్యంగా పెట్టి సమస్య పరిష్కారంలో సహాయపడుతారు.#telanganapolice pic.twitter.com/wZF17RXGnc
