OCTOPUS (Organization To Counter Terrorist Operations)

The initial training for Octopus personnel shall be on Explosives, Un-Armed Combat, Rock Climbing, Firing, Kill Hut, Room Intervention, Tactics, Obstacles, Communication, Computers and Map Reading, among other courses.

Thereafter, regular periodical training shall be imparted continuously to keep the men fighting fit. The Training Wing shall be established at the headquarters, Hyderabad. In addition, the head of Octopus is permitted to engage experts in specialized skills on a contract basis from among the ex-NSG, Para Commandos and Special Frontier Forces, in the ranks of DIG/SP-1, Inspectors/SIs-5 and HCs-5.


The new outfit from scratch. OCTOPUS will initially have strength of 1,600 personnel. OCTOPUS will be patterned after Greyhounds (the anti-Maoist elite commando force) and Special Intelligence Bureau (which gathers intelligence on Maoist activities in the state).

Personnel will be inducted into OCTOPUS through direct recruitment and special deputation from other wings of the state police. They will be given specialized training and offered higher pay and perks.

The Intelligence and Analysis Wing of OCTOPUS will collect intelligence at sub-divisional, district, commissionerate, metropolitan and state levels. Technical Intelligence Wing will have forensic, cyber and communication monitoring cells. Its Research & Analysis Wing will take up data interpretation, news analysis of print and electronic media besides inter-agency coordination and planning.

The Operations Wing of OCTOPUS will undertake surveillance through watch and shadow teams and recording and interception of communications. For field operations, assault teams, including bomb disposal squads, will be located at strategic locations.

Rescue teams will be formed with para-medicos and ambulances for speedy medical assistance to victims in case of terror attacks. Coordination and communication teams will also be constituted.

OCTOPUS also function as an investigation team for collection of evidence and scientific deduction with experts and forensic scientists and dog squads. It will also take up prosecution of terror-related cases.

These guys look better equipped than the IA, no ballistic helmets or BPJs as far as I can see though.

But they are not special forces, am I wrong?

They are not a Special Force but a Special Unit which is only experienced in jungle warfare and doesnt have any airborne component.

Bhai,TV 9 are no one to decide what a SF is and what is not.To be honest most people dont know what the term "operator" means in India so you can hardly expect them to know what a SF would be.

Special Forces are the forces capable of fighting:-

-Direct Action
-Hostage rescue
-CT
-Unconventional
-Intel gathering
-Assymetric
-FID
-Personel recovery
-Counter Proliferation

Apart from these things they should be capable of adapting to 'any' environment and be airborne.

Most people in India dont know what a SF really is and what the term 'operator' means.Thatswhy i say we have only 2 SF in India.(which is alltogether different debate)
