# 112 DSP probationers pass out of Telangana Police Academy 2026-10-12T21:41:24+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets The 112 probationary Deputy Superintendents of Police (DSPs) of the 2025 batch completed their 44-week institutional training at the Raja Bahadur Venkata Rama Reddy Telangana Police Academy, with a passing-out parade held on 9 October. The batch, recruited through the Telangana Public Service Commission’s Group-I examination, comprises 74 men and 38 women. Neha Agarwal, a PhD holder in law, emerged as the best all-round performer, securing four top honours including the Chief Minister’s Revolver and the Late Raja Bahadur Venkata Rama Reddy Gold Medal. The probationers come from diverse backgrounds, including agriculture, business, academia and policing. Several award winners included L. Srikanth (best outdoor subjects), T. Jacob Abhishek (best firing) and R. Sai Kiran Reddy (best investigation). Two women probationers, Latheefa Asha and Neha Purohit, won medals at the All India Police Badminton Championship. The probationers were deployed during major security events, including the Medaram Jathara, IPL matches and Ganesh immersion processions. The passing-out parade marks the end of the institutional phase of the 90-week induction programme. The probationers will now undergo 46 weeks of district, specialised and practical training, including attachments with Greyhounds, OCTOPUS, the Crime Investigation Department and other policing agencies, before assuming field responsibilities as DSPs. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Both Deccan Chronicle and The Hindu provide largely neutral reporting on the same event, but differ in focus. Deccan Chronicle leads with human-interest profiles of individual probationers, emphasising personal stories and family reactions, while The Hindu leads with the official honours, marks and training structure. Deccan Chronicle highlights Agarwal's age and past mentoring role, whereas The Hindu foregrounds her exam scores and specific awards. The Hindu alone details the batch's educational qualifications, the deployment during events, and the forthcoming practical training attachments. A balanced reading combines the human angle with the institutional facts: the same event offers both personal achievement and structured government process. The probationers' next phase is a 46-week practical attachment with specialised police units, a concrete step toward field duties. ## Coverage Coverage: 2 sources, 2 neutral - deccanchronicle.com (neutral report) Focuses on personal profiles and family pride, but no slant. - thehindu.com (neutral report) Straight factual reporting on training and awards.
