Incident at Rachakonda Police Commissionerate

A senior police officer in Telangana’s Rachakonda, Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) S Malla Reddy, has been transferred following an incident involving alcohol consumption within the police premises. Sources revealed that the officer consumed alcohol inside the Hyderabad police commissionerate, leading to a series of events that have sparked public outrage.

Details of the Incident

According to sources, DCP Malla Reddy not only drank alcohol while on duty but also vomited on the floor of the commissionerate. This behavior was deemed highly inappropriate and unprofessional, especially given the setting and his position of authority. The incident did not end there; it was reported that he instructed his staff to clean up the mess he had created, further aggravating the situation.

Public Reaction and Administrative Response

The incident quickly became a topic of public discussion, leading to widespread criticism and demands for accountability. In response to the public outcry, Rachakonda Police Commissioner Sudheer Babu took decisive action by transferring Malla Reddy out of his current role. He has been reassigned to the office of the director general of police, a move seen as a disciplinary measure.

New Appointment and Responsibilities

Following Malla Reddy’s transfer, Road Safety DCP K Manohar has been appointed to take over his responsibilities. This change in leadership is expected to restore order and maintain the integrity of the police force in Rachakonda. The swift administrative response underscores the importance placed on maintaining professional conduct within law enforcement agencies.

Implications for Law Enforcement Standards

This incident highlights ongoing challenges within law enforcement regarding maintaining discipline and professionalism. It serves as a reminder of the high standards expected from those in positions of authority and the consequences of failing to meet these expectations.
