Three senior IPS officers were suspended by the Andhra Pradesh government after a complaint of wrongful arrest and confinement was filed against police by Mumbai-based actress Kadambari Jethwani. The three officers suspended in this connection include former intelligence chief PSR Anjaneyulu (IPS:1992:AP), former police commissioner of Vijayawada, Kranti Rana Tata (IPS:2004:AP), and former Vijayawada deputy commissioner Vishal Gunni (IPS:2010:AP).
In her complaint, the actress alleged that the action was taken against her in haste at the behest of YSRCP leader and film producer K V Vidyasagar Rao, who accused her of forgery and extortion. In her police complaint, the actress has alleged that she and her father were picked by police and brought to Vijayawada, where they were kept in confinement for three days. They were later granted bail by the local court.
On the basis of her complaint, the AP police chief had ordered a probe. The probe team made stunning disclosure that IPS officers Kranthi Rana Tata and Vishal Gunni proceeded to arrest the actress even before producer Vidyasagar Rao had formally lodged a police complaint. According to the probe report, it was allegedly done on the direction of former intelligence DG Anjaneyulu. The probe report thus paved the way for their suspensions.
