Bail Granted to Hyderabad Cops, But One Remains in Jail
15 Nov
Summary
- Two accused police officers from Keesara station received bail.
- One officer remains jailed due to a pending disproportionate assets case.
- Three police officers were recently caught in ACB traps.
Two months after their arrest, Keesara inspector Anjaneyulu and sub-inspector Gnanender Reddy were granted bail on Saturday. The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) had trapped the officers for allegedly demanding ₹6 lakh from an accused person for leniency. SI Gnanender Reddy was caught accepting ₹5 lakh near Rampally Lake.
Despite being granted bail, Anjaneyulu remains in custody due to a pending disproportionate assets case. He was remanded to judicial custody on October 29. This marks the second bail petition filed by the accused officers. The ACB had opposed the bail, citing ongoing investigations and the potential for witness tampering.
The Keesara police station has faced significant scrutiny, with three police personnel, including one SHO and two SIs, being trapped by the ACB in separate cases over the past two months. This has led to four cases being registered against the station, prompting a reshuffle of 11 personnel.
