Hyderabad: An inspector of Kalwakuthy police in Nagarkurnool was slippered by the husband of a fellow officer who caught the two together in his house. Inspector Y. Mallikarjuna Reddy, who is also married, was charged with adultery, trespassing and criminal intimidation.
The woman officer is additional SP of the ACB. Her husband had been away from for a fortnight, but returned on Sunday at about 11.30 pm, after being tipped off by the watchman. He found everything normal and went off but returned at 2.30 am to find his wife with Inspector Reddy.
Cop to face action for illicit relation
The inspector rushed out of the flat but was caught by a family member of the woman officer and was badly beaten up with chappals!
Alerted to this drama by passersby, the KPHB cops rushed to the spot, but could not do much as it was a family dispute.
Based on husband's complaint with DCP Madhapur, a case was registered at the KPHB police station against the inspector.
The husband told the police that Mallikarjuna Reddy had trapped his wife and entered into an affair with her. He admitted to being suspicious of his wife and checked her Whatsapp conversations and chats. The couple had differences and had been staying apart often.
“A case is registered. We are collecting all evidences and CC footage at the apartment. A detailed report will be sent to SP, Nagarkurnool, for action.” said Mr Vishwaprasad, DCP Madhapur.
According to sources, while Mallikarjuna Reddy is likely to face suspension, the woman officer may be relieved from her posting and attached to the headquarters. “Though there may not be legal action, as she is considered a victim, there may be action on grounds of moral conduct,” the source said.
