Hyderabad | A trainee IPS officer UdayKrishna Reddy, who was booked for allegedly stalking and sexually harassing a fellow woman trainee at the SVPNPA here was hospitalised on Monday after a suspected suicide attempt, police said.

A doctor treating him said the trainee officer was brought to the private hospital in an unconscious state by his brother and friends at around 9.30 am, who suspected that he might have consumed some harmful substance.

The doctor said that a stomach wash was performed and nothing "abnormal" was found.

The blood and urine samples were sent for tests and his vital parameters were stable, the doctor told mediapersons.

Though he was unconscious when brought to the hospital, the trainee officer is now drowsy, he said, adding that facts would be known after he fully regains consciousness and the test reports are received.

An alcohol bottle and a sanitizer bottle were found near his bed, the doctor, quoting the trainee officer's brother, said.

A 30-year-old woman trainee IPS officer, had lodged a complaint with police, accusing the fellow IPS officer trainee of harassing her by sending sexually abusive messages through an instant messaging app since June 23 and also making derogatory comments about her within the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel National Police Academy (SVPNPA) in front of her friends.

The complainant stated that he falsely accused her of having a sexual relationship with another trainee and pressurising her to admit to such a purported relationship besides using abusive words.

The complainant further stated that on July 9, he wrongfully restrained her, forcibly took her to his room, grabbed her by the hair, attempted to strangulate her, and held a knife against her neck and did not allow her to leave his room.

On July 10, he again physically assaulted her with his hand, the complainant said.

The complainant accused him of recording a private video of her without her knowledge or consent and sending it to her husband with the intention of blackmailing her.

Based on the complaint, a case was registered at Attapur police station on charges of assault or criminal force to a woman with intent to outrage her modesty, sexual harassment, word, gesture or act intended to insult the modesty of a woman, stalking among others under relevant sections of BNS besides under the Information Technology (IT) Act on July 18, police said.

The trainee IPS officer had said in a social media post that the complaint and rumours against him are baseless and untrue.

"I fully trust the legal process and believe justice will prevail," he said.

Meanwhile, a police official on Monday said as part of further investigation they will issue a notice to him seeking his appearance before them in connection with the case.

Following the registration of the case, the IPS trainee, had left the academy, sources said. He previously worked as a constable in Andhra Pradesh.
