Overview

  • The Andhra Pradesh CID arrested former Intelligence Chief P. S. R. Anjaneyulu on allegations of orchestrating the wrongful arrest of actor Kadambari Jethwani and her family in 2024.
  • Jethwani claims the land-related forgery case filed against her by YSRCP leader Kukkala Vidyasagar was politically motivated and used to pressure her into withdrawing a sexual assault complaint.
  • The TDP-led government had suspended Anjaneyulu and two other senior IPS officers in September 2024 for bypassing investigative protocols in Jethwani's arrest.
  • The current government asserts the arrest is part of an accountability drive, while YSRCP leaders allege it is politically motivated retaliation.
  • Jethwani and her family were detained for over 40 days in 2024 despite insufficient evidence, with allegations of abuse of power under the previous YSRCP regime.
