Hyd cop gets massage from home guard; inquiry ordered after video goes viral

Hyderabad: The Rachakonda police in Hyderabad have ordered an inquiry after a video, purportedly of an inspector getting a "massage" from a home guard, went viral.

After the video was aired on the local TV channels, Rachakonda Police Commissioner Mahesh M Bhagwat on Saturday attached Saroor Nagar Police Station inspector S Lingaiah to the Commissionerate and ordered an inquiry by Deputy Commissioner of Police (Admin) Prakash Reddy into the matter.

Though the faces in the blurry video are not clear, the TV reports claimed that Lingaiah (sitting on a chair) was being massaged by a home guard in uniform at his house.

However, the inspector has denied the charges, saying he is not the man seen in the video, which he termed as fake.

The video appears to have been shot by a constable and a further probe into the matter is underway, the police said.
