The three major police commissionerates of the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) saw the overall crime rate drop in 2025.
Hyderabad: A Hyderabad resident has been booked by Medak police after he was allegedly found carrying identity cards claiming links to intelligence agencies and Interpol.
The accused, identified as Bukka Santosh from Kothapet in Hyderabad, visited the Medak Collectorate on Monday, August 3, along with his friend Srinath to submit a representation to District Collector Prathima Singh during the public grievances programme, over a land dispute.
During the meeting, Santosh claimed that he was an Interpol officer and showed two identity cards to the Collector.
