Telangana State Police Complaint Authority Inaugurated in Hyderabad
The Telangana government has created a new group called the State Police Complaint Authority (SPCA).
It's like a special team to make sure the police in Telangana are doing their jobs fairly and honestly.
If someone believes a police officer, who is a DSP or higher, has misused their power, they can report it to the SPCA.
