I dont think it can be handled through QTP, thats why we call it Security .

Hi Raju,
CAPTCHA can't be automated.
CAPTCHA is given to know that some human is accessing the page. If that can be automated, then hackers can write code to handle it and start inserting number of records in the database with in short span of time, which may lead to system or DB crash. Hence CAPTCHA is a security measure to avoid the automated access of the page.

Thanks,
