Tirupati (Andhra Pradesh):Octopus Commandos, the anti-terror wing in Andhra

have been shifted to Hyderabad for further interrogation on the instructions of
the higher authorities. The first commando unit of the Octopus was formally commissioned
at Tirumala by former Director General of Police S S P Yadav in view of the increasing
