Telangana Launches Forensic Lab, Busts ₹3 Crore IPO Scam
The police in Telangana are now using a special van that's like a crime lab on wheels to help solve crimes faster.
At the same time, the cyber security team caught some people who tricked someone into giving them 3 crore rupees by promising fake investments.
They made the victim believe they could buy shares in a company that didn't exist, and used fake documents to get the money.
The police are still looking for more people involved in both cases.

The lab is equipped with digital forensics tools, and narcotics and semen detection kits.
