Supreme Court orders CBI probe against AP DGP
IT is clash of the Titans - two senior IPS officers of Andhra Pradesh. A letter landed up in the Home Ministry two years ago from a Member of Parliament seeking an enquiry against Dinesh Reddy, the Present Director General of Police, Andhra Pradesh alleging that he had amassed disproportionate assets in the name of his wife and her power of attorney holders. It turned out that the complaint was not given by the MP, but his signature was forged. It seems another senior officer Umesh Kumar who was a contender for the post of DGP was involved in the episode and a charge sheet had been filed against him in a Criminal Court.
Now the Supreme Court has directed the CBI to investigate the matter against Dinesh Reddy on the allegations of acquiring the disproportionate assets.
In the meanwhile the State Government has called for the explanation of Umesh Kumar who had while working as DG of ACB sought the details of call records of two mobile phone numbers, one held by the DGP Dinesh Reddy and another by his wife.
