Hyderabad: Rachakonda police commissioner Mahesh Bhagwat on Saturday ordered an inquiry on the reports that Saroornagar inspector S. Lingaiah was using a home guard for body massage at the inspector’s home.
An alleged video of the home guard massaging the inspector went viral on Saturday. The commissioner also issued orders attaching the inspector to the commissionerate and appointed Mr N. Prakash Reddy, DCP (Admin), Racha-konda, to inquire into the incident and submit a report at the earliest.
Meanwhile, the inspector denied the charges saying the videos are fabricated and had never used personnel for his personal use. “The person in the video in circulation is clearly not me and I do not have a habit of consuming alcohol also,” the inspector said. Home guard Saida Nayak, on Saturday claimed that the inspector had been forcing him to massage his body at his home. “ While I massage his body, he would consume alcohol sitting in the chair,” said Nayak while talking to media.
“For a fair inquiry, the inspector is attached to the head quarter with immediate effect and based on the report, further action will be initiated against him,” said an official source from Rachakonda. Meanwhile, the inspector claimed that home guard Nayak was initially deputed to Saroornagar police station, but he was on medical leave after he met with an accident two months ago. Later he obtained a passport and moved to the commissionerate.
