Hyderabad: Sixty SHE Teams that are deployed in the Cyberabad Police Commissionerate seem to be doing their silent decoy operations successfully to protect women from eve-teasing. This year, the She Teams registered 376 cases, including 309 petty cases and filed 67 FIRs. Cyberabad SHE Teams caught 29 offenders in the last two weeks.
All the offenders have been counselled by professional counsellors of Bhumika Women’s Collective, in collaboration with Cyberabad Police and SCSC (Society for Cyberabad Security Council). All the offenders are being counselled along with their parents at Crime Against Women Cell, SHE Teams office, CPO, Gachibowli. Among these 29 offenders, five are in remand.
Most of them are around 20 years old and are students. A few of them are around 35-years-old. During last two weeks, 24 cases have been reported in which 30 offenders were booked. On Saturday, counselling was held for 24 offenders while five are in jail. Most of the eve-teasers are repenting about their mischievous act and realising the necessity of respecting women after an hour of counselling session, according to sources.
Majority of them were leaving the counselling hall of CAW Cell with water filled eyes with clear goals of their lives, they said. Parents are appreciating the initiative taken by the Cyberabad SHE Teams, according to the police sources.
