# Trainee IPS officer arrested in sexual harassment case, encounter threat alleged 2026-08-08T00:42:58+00:00 | India | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Hindu reports that the Hyderabad Police’s Women’s Safety Wing arrested trainee IPS officer Uday Krishna Reddy on July 28 for allegedly sexually harassing a fellow probationer at the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel National Police Academy. The case was registered under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and IT Act. The academy’s internal inquiry found the allegations credible and suspended Reddy, who had earlier attempted suicide, according to The Hindu. In a separate development, former CBI director M Nageswara Rao wrote to the Telangana DGP on August 9, alleging that the Hyderabad commissioner threatened Reddy with an encounter. Rao claimed the relationship was consensual and that the woman had only filed a complaint after a disputed cadre transfer. The Siasat report details the FIR, which includes allegations of strangulation and voyeurism. The DGP has not yet responded. ## Coverage - thehindu.com - siasat.com Tags: arrest, Hyderabad police, inquiry, IPS officer, sexual harassment, SVPNPA Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/trainee-ips-officer-arrested-for-sexual-harassment-in-hyderabad/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
