Police Seek Extended Custody of IPS Trainee Uday Krishna Reddy
A trainee police officer named Uday Krishna Reddy is being questioned by other police officers.
They are investigating a complaint of sexual harassment against him.
He was held in police custody for two days, and that time ended on August 7.
The police now want to keep questioning him for a longer period.
They told the court that Reddy stayed quiet and did not answer their questions.
Reddy told the judge that the police did not behave properly while questioning him.
The judge also asked the police why they questioned him in a place without security cameras.
On August 8, the court will decide whether the police can keep him in custody.
No final decision about guilt has been made yet.
Police filed a fresh petition in Upparpally court seeking extended custody of trainee IPS officer Uday Krishna Reddy after his two-day police custody ended on August 7.
