Andhra Pradesh Government has extended suspension of three IPS officers by 6 months.
The Andhra Pradesh government has extended the suspension of three senior IPS officers—Vishal Gunni, Kanthi Ratan Tata, and P. Sitaram Anjaneyulu—for an additional six months. The officers were originally suspended on September 15, 2024, following allegations of harassing Mumbai-based actor and model Kadambari Narendra Kumar Jethwani.
As per a Government Order (GO) issued by Chief Secretary K. Vijayanand, the suspension of Vishal Gunni, a 2010-batch IPS officer, has been extended for another 180 days, until September 9, 2025, or until further notice. Similar extensions have been granted for Kanthi Ratan Tata and Sitaram Anjaneyulu.
The three officers—Sitaram Anjaneyulu (former Intelligence Chief, DG rank), Kanthi Ratan Tata (former Vijayawada Police Commissioner, IG rank), and Vishal Gunni (SP rank, formerly Deputy Commissioner of Police, Vijayawada)—were suspended last year after an inquiry found them guilty of acting in haste and arresting Jethwani without proper investigation.
