Police officials in news for wrong reasons in Telangana 2023 Assembly elections
The HinduThe Telangana police succeeded in ensuring a peaceful conduct of the 2023 Assembly elections, but some of its officers were in the news for all the wrong reasons. Though two more IPS officers — commissioners of Warangal and Nizamabad V. Ranganath and V. Satyanarayana respectively — were transferred, the transfer of Mr. Anand came as a jolt to the officials’ circle. Even as a debate was under way as to what prompted the election body to crack whip on them, the ECI transferred the then Karimnagar Police Commissioner Subbarayudu on October 27. Even as the election results were being announced, DGP Anjani Kumar and Additional DGP Sanjay Kumar Jain, both clad in khaki uniform, and CID chief Mahesh Bhagwat, in civilian clothes, walked into TPCC president A. Revanth Reddy’s house at Jubilee Hills around noon.
