Social media misconduct involving Telangana police

Overview

Kalvakuntla Kavitha, President of the Telangana Rakshana Sena (TRS), demanded the arrest and dismissal of a police constable following derogatory social media comments directed at her. Kavitha criticized the government and police for perceived indifference toward online abuse against women and called for formal charges under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the IT Act.

In response, Telangana Police suspended constable K. Anil and registered a criminal case at the Hyderabad Cyber Crimes Police Station. Investigators seized the constable’s mobile phone for forensic examination. The Cyberabad Police characterized the alleged behavior as “gross negligence, dereliction of duty, and grave misconduct,” while issuing warnings to all personnel regarding professional conduct on digital platforms.
