Commissioner Shares Viral Awareness Video
As part of the campaign, the Hyderabad Police Commissioner shared a video of an Instagram influencer on his social media, highlighting how scammers manipulate victims.

**“Desi Mom vs Scammer! 🥊 Who wins? Awareness does!
While this video is hilarious, the threat is real. Cyber fraudsters use two main weapons: GREED and URGENCY to steal your OTPs.
Remember, nobody is giving away ₹25 lakh or any amount for free. There is no such thing as a free lunch. Never share your OTP, PIN, or banking details over a phone call. Alertness is your best defence. 🛡️
Report cyber fraud immediately:
📞 Dial 1930
💻 Visit: cybercrime.gov.in”**
The video has gained significant attention and is helping spread the safety message to a wider audience.
