Don’t extend Dinesh Reddy’ service: TAJAC

Hyderabad: Telangana Advocates Joint Action Committee (TAJAC) requested Chief Secretary PK Mohanty not to extend the service of Director General of Police V Dinesh Reddy beyond the age of superannuation. In a memorandum to Chief Secretary on Monday, T-Advocates JAC leader T Sriranga Rao urged the State government to shift the Dinesh Reddy from the present charge after the Supreme Court order directing CBI inquiry into his assets. He said that Reddy’s tenure as DGP is very controversial from the beginning and the IPS officer is known to misuse his authority to fix his rivals in the service and others who are perceived to be opposing his interests.

“There is no justification in the representation of DGP seeing extension of service”, he added. Referring to the Supreme Court order on September 6, 2013, he said that it came down heavily on the State government for not holding inquiry into allegations of acquiring huge properties by Dinesh Reddy and his wife. He said that the court directed the CBI to conduct an inquiry into the same and submit status report within four months. “A person who is facing CBI investigation monitored by the Supreme Court cannot continue as head of police force even for a day.
