A senior police official in Telangana was booked for allegedly stalking a woman employed in the state-run power distribution company Telangana State Southern Power Distribution Company Limited (TSSPDCL), the police said on Sunday, 31 July.
Based on a complaint lodged by the woman at the Chaitanyapuri Police Station in Hyderabad on Saturday, 30 July, a case was registered against Superintendent of Police (Crime Investigation Department) Kishan Singh under IPC Section 354-D (stalking), the cops said.
A resident of Kothapet, the woman stated that while she was preparing for national competitions during 2020-2021 at Saroornagar Stadium in the city, the official told her that they are conducting classes and asked her to attend. As he was a senior police official, she agreed to attend. He also took her phone number, she said in her complaint.
The police official used to send quotes, old romantic Hindi songs, and videos displaying different types of sarees, and pictures to her.
He also asked her to send a photograph of her, and allegedly asked her several times to wear a saree to classes she was attending in preparation for competitive examinations, the woman said.
The complainant said she did not oblige and stopped responding to him for one year. Recently, she called him in connection with an accident case and he allegedly told her that he wanted to maintain friendship and help her by all means.
Otherwise, he would stay away, she quoted him as saying.
Based on the complaint, the police registered a case against the official, and an investigation is under way.
Speaking to South First, Chaitanyapuri Inspector Nagarjuna said, “We will investigate the issue and take action accordingly.”
