Hyderabad Police Question Trainee IPS Officer in Sexual Assault Case
A man who is training to be a top police officer is in trouble with the police.
His name is M. Uday Krishna Reddy.
He is accused of doing bad things to a woman who was also training to be a police officer.
She says he scared her, damaged her laptop, and threatened to share her private messages.
Police in Hyderabad are asking him questions about what happened.
A judge gave the police two days to question him.
He will go back to jail after that.
Police also think he may have been close to another woman.
They are also looking for his missing phone to find more evidence.
The investigation is still going on, so the final truth is not known yet.
Hyderabad Police's Women Safety Wing began questioning trainee IPS officer M. Uday Krishna Reddy in a sexual assault case filed by a fellow trainee officer.
A court granted two days of police custody, and Reddy was moved from Chanchalguda Central Jail to Attapur Police Station, where questioning will continue until 5.30 pm Friday.
Police allege Reddy threatened to release private chats after the victim ended their relationship and married another person.
Investigators found new evidence suggesting Reddy was allegedly in a close relationship with another woman from Andhra Pradesh.
The probe is centred on Reddy's missing mobile phone; his laptop and another phone have been seized and sent to the Forensic Science Laboratory for examination.
