Hyderabad Police Launch Pilot Wing to Investigate Serious Crimes Separately
The Hyderabad City Police launched a pilot Zonal Investigation Branch in the Golconda Zone to focus exclusively on investigating serious and complex crimes. This new wing, comprising specialized personnel, aims to separate crime investigation from routine law and order duties, allowing local police to concentrate on maintaining public order. The branch will collaborate with departments like Health and the Forensic Science Laboratory to gather scientific evidence and ensure timely filing of charge sheets. Its success may lead to similar units in other zones.
