The Story in Brief
Vustala Somi Reddy, a former deputy commissioner of prohibition and excise in Khammam, has filed a police complaint against liquor trader Kondapalli Ganesh. Reddy alleges Ganesh ran a malicious social media campaign against him from August 8 to 11, along with extortion threats and abusive messages on his official WhatsApp.
Reddy claims Ganesh harbours personal vengeance and forwarded false corruption petitions to government departments, including the ACB, to damage his reputation. He submitted 17 message copies and a pen drive as evidence to the Khanapuram Haveli police. Ganesh, already booked in a Rs 3.45 crore fraud case and known for buying a Ganesh laddu for Rs 51 lakh, has not publicly responded.
The Indian Opinion
This is just the latest trouble for a liquor trader already facing a fraud case. Yet the story is being framed as a simple case of a powerful businessman bullying a government officer. The narrative misses a key question: what evidence did the excise official present? He gave police 17 messages and a pen drive. If those messages are genuine and show clear threats, the law must move fast. The test here is not the allegation but the proof in that pen drive.
