Banjara Hills police books MLA Kaushik Reddy for threatening and abusing Inspector

Banjara Hills: Banjara Hills police booked a case against Huzurabad MLA P Kaushik Reddy and his associates for obstructing the duties of Banjara Hills Police inspector on Wednesday.

Going further into details, at around 3 pm, as the Inspector of Banjara Hills PS was leaving the police station on emergency duty, a group led by P Kaushik Reddy approached the vehicle demanding him to get down and blocked its movement by parking another car in front.

“Though the Inspector, unaware of the happenings, informed them he is on a time-bound emergency duty and they can submit their grievance to Admin Sub-Inspector at the PS or wait for his return. But, disregarding the request, instigated by P Kaushik Reddy, the persons obstructed the Inspector’s vehicle, abused the officer, and threatened him” read a statement released by West zone Deputy Commissioner of Police S M Vijay Kumar.

As the situation escalated, the Inspector got out of the vehicle, called them to his office, and heard their grievance. He could not attend his field duties. Even inside the office, P Kaushik Reddy and others resorted to abusive and threatening behavior towards the officer without reason, added DCP.
