The Andhra Pradesh government has suspended senior IPS officer Vishal Gunni over his alleged involvement in harassing and “hastily arresting” actor-cum-model Kadambari Jethwani from Mumbai.
He studied diligently for hours to prepare for one of the toughest exams in India—the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) exam. Ultimately, his dedication and efforts paid off when he cracked the UPSC in 2009, securing an All India Rank (AIR) of 439. He became an IPS officer and was posted in Andhra Pradesh. Now, the officer is suspended.
The Andhra Pradesh government issued an order suspending senior IPS officer Vishal Gunni in connection with his alleged involvement in “hastily arresting” and “harassing” an actor-cum-model from Mumbai. The allegation against Gunni is that he allegedly harassed the actress without conducting a proper probe into a case filed against her. Notably, Vishal Gunni was serving as the Deputy Commissioner of Police (Vijayawada) during the alleged incident.
Alleged Harassment Of The Model
After digging into the matter, it was found that he was allegedly involved in harassing the model, leading to his suspension. Alongside this, the state government didn’t spare two other senior IPS officers as well – they were put on suspension too. The woman stated her case, accusing the police officers of pressuring her in the former administration to withdraw a case; this case was lodged against a high-ranking official from a corporation based in Mumbai. If she failed to comply, the officers threatened her with severe consequences.
