How Hyderabad’s cybercrime police made quick arrests

HYDERABAD: In a breakaway from the norm, Hyderabad’s cybercrime police booked 10 persons and apprehended three within a couple of days of them posting distasteful and objectionable comments on social media on the rape and murder of the veterinarian. The usual procedure takes about a fortnight to complete.

That being said, it is important to ask how did the investigation officers narrowed in on the culprits and made quick arrests.

Officials in the cybercrime wing said that they had mapped the friends and followers of the accused persons on social media. They then managed to gather the complete details of these persons based on tip-offs by their social media friends.
