Hyderabad City Police (the law enforcement agency of Telangana's state capital) have arrested 52 people, including 32 bank officials, in a coordinated sweep against organised cyber fraud networks. Dubbed 'Operation Octopus 2.0', the seven-day operation spanned nine Indian states and targeted bank insiders, mule account holders, and intermediaries accused of enabling large-scale financial crimes. The arrests highlight the growing role of corrupt banking staff in facilitating cyber fraud, a concern with implications for financial security across India.
