Hyderabad: The Telangana High Court has declined to grant interim protection to trainee IPS officer Uday Krishna Reddy, who is facing allegations of sexually assaulting a fellow woman trainee IPS officer at the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel National Police Academy (SVPNPA) in Shivarampally.
Attapur Police registered a case against Uday Krishna Reddy based on the complaint. Challenging the case, he approached the High Court, claiming the allegations were false and stating that both were in a relationship and had intended to marry. He sought quashing of the FIR and protection from any further action.
During the hearing, the High Court refused to restrain the authorities from proceeding with the investigation and adjourned the matter until next Monday.
Meanwhile, senior police officials have transferred the investigation to the Women Safety Wing. The probe is being led by SHE Teams DCP Lavanya Naik Jadhav. As part of the investigation, women police officers recorded the complainant’s statement at the National Police Academy and are examining the conduct of the accused trainee officer.
