Overview
- A serving Telangana police constable identified as K Anil was suspended by Cyberabad police, with the suspension order dated Wednesday after TRS members filed a formal complaint over misogynistic online posts.
- TRS leaders met Additional Director General of Police Mahesh Bhagwat and demanded the constable be dismissed within 24 hours while warning of state-wide protests if authorities did not act.
- TRS national spokesperson Akash Kolluru urged the constable's arrest and called for the resignations of Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, who holds the home portfolio, and the state DGP to press for accountability.
- Complainants have asked police to verify the social-media account, preserve digital evidence and consider criminal charges under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the IT Act while pursuing departmental action.
- The incident has amplified concerns about online attacks on women in public life and the standards expected of uniformed officers, with the next steps likely to include a forensic probe and potential criminal or service proceedings.
