HYDERABAD: Contacted for her response to the findings of an Intelligence Department enquiry into allegations against her, senior IPS officer Tejdeep Kaur Menon, presently the director-general of the Special Protection Force (SPF), denied knowledge of any petition referred to the Telangana chief minister’s office or any enquiry initiated against her by the Intelligence Department.
“I haven’t heard of any enquiry against me. Had there been an enquiry, I would have known,’’ she said. Asked about misappropriation of funds from the NGF (SPF welfare society), she dismissed the charge. “There are no funds earmarked for Swach Hyderabad programme in the SPF funds. Therefore, there is no question of misuse.’’
To another question about 32 personnel working at her residence, Tejdeep said it was a baseless allegation: ‘’There is no truth in this.’’
On the allegations that she has been accused of harassing Telangana SPF personnel in transfers and attachments, Tejdeep said: ‘’Everyone is extremely happy in SPF and there are no complaints or anger among anyone in the force. There are no issues of attachment or transfers.’’
Tejdeep also dismissed allegations that a water tanker from the SPF academy is being misused. ‘’I have absolutely no knowledge of what you are talking about. There is no enquiry against me and everything in the SPF is going on smoothly. In fact, for the good work my force has done, I have also received an award by the conservation portal, Sanctuary Asia, which was given for doing distinguished work in spearheading exceptional initiatives to clean, rejuvenate and protect urban water bodies like the Ameenpur lake,’’ she said.
When Express contacted Telangana state Intelligence chief Naveen Chand, he refused comment and hung up.
