Trainee IPS Officer Gets Two-Day Police Custody in Harassment Case
A person training to be a police officer is in trouble.
His name is Uday Krishna Reddy.
A court has decided that police can keep him for two days to ask him questions.
This happened because another police trainee, a woman, said he harassed her.
The police also want to find his mobile phone, which they think holds important clues.
Mr. Reddy says that after he passed a very big exam, his story became famous online.
He says some women asked him to be their boyfriend and he said yes.
He asked people, "What is wrong with that?"
A higher court, the Telangana High Court, did not stop the case.
It will look at the case again on August 26.
An Upparapally court in Hyderabad granted two days' police custody of trainee IPS officer Uday Krishna Reddy.
The custody is in connection with the alleged harassment of a woman trainee IPS officer.
Police are expected to question Reddy about his mobile phone, which is yet to be recovered and is considered key evidence.
Reddy reportedly said that after clearing the Civil Services Examination, women proposed to him and he accepted, asking, "What is wrong with that?"
The Telangana High Court declined interim relief on his petition to quash the FIR, with the next hearing set for August 26.
