HANAMKONDA: Subedari police on Tuesday registered a case against sub-inspector G Anil of the Kakatiya University Campus police station following a complaint by a government working in the irrigation department that he sexually harassed her.
Accompanied by her husband Bhargav Sallori, the victim lodged the complaint with the Subedari police station. According to the complaint, the SI first saw her on December 3, 2023, at the Enumamula Agriculture Market Yard where she was deputed for counting of votes for the Assembly elections. Anil then continued to contact her through WhatsApp messages.

When the victim went to Anil’s home to meet his sister, she discovered there were no women present. She confronted the SI who got angry. In her complaint, the victim said that Anil threatened to assault her.
The victim said that she managed to escape from Anil’s residence and informed her husband. Realising the gravity of the situation, Bhargav and the victim reached the Subedari police station to formally lodge a complaint.
