She kissed me without consent: IPS trainee accused of harassment attempts suicide
A case was registered against Uday Krishna Reddy after a fellow IPS trainee at the National Police Academy accused him of stalking, assault, harassment and secretly recording a private video.
An IPS trainee at the National Police Academy in Hyderabad, against whom a fellow probationer has levelled harassment allegations, has been hospitalised after a suspected suicide attempt, officials said.
In a suicide note, the trainee, Uday Krishna Reddy, claimed that he was in a romantic relationship with the fellow IPS probationer who had levelled the allegations against him and that she had insisted on continuing their intimate relationship even after her marriage.
Reddy visited a friend's residence in the city on Sunday evening and is suspected to have consumed a bottle of poison, according to sources. However, authorities are yet to officially confirm whether it was a suicide attempt.
The incident comes days after a 30-year-old fellow IPS probationer lodged a complaint accusing Reddy of stalking, assault, criminal intimidation and secretly recording a private video without her consent. She said the incidents occurred on multiple occasions throughout June.
Based on her complaint, Hyderabad Police registered a case under multiple provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), along with relevant sections of the Information Technology Act.
In her complaint, the woman alleged that Reddy sent her sexually abusive messages on WhatsApp and made derogatory remarks about her before fellow probationers. She further claimed that he repeatedly accused her of being in a relationship with another trainee, pressured her to admit to it and verbally abused her.
She also alleged that Reddy forcibly accessed her mobile phone, compelled her to unlock it, examined her private chats and later took the device to his room, forcing her to disclose its password.
In another incident, she alleged that he wrongfully restrained her, forced her into his room, physically assaulted her, pulled her hair, attempted to strangle her and held a knife to her neck while preventing her from leaving. She also claimed that he threw packets of condoms at her during the incident. She further alleged that another assault took place on July 10, during which he attempted to touch her inappropriately.
Among the most serious allegations, she claimed that Reddy secretly recorded a private video of her without her consent and later sent it to her husband in an attempt to blackmail her. She also accused him of trying to damage her reputation by spreading false and derogatory information about her.
'WE WERE IN A RELATIONSHIP, SHE INSISTED ON INTIMACY'
However, in a two-page suicide note, Reddy denied the allegations against him. He claimed that it was the woman who had forcibly entered his room despite his objections and alleged that they continued to be in a physical and emotional relationship even after her marriage.
"I, Uday Krishna Reddy and (woman) have been in a relationship since June 2025. Even after her marriage also, we continued to be in a relationship, physically and emotionally. She only came to my room (asked me many times in WhatsApp chats to open my room) and initiated a fight. I recorded them on my phone as evidence. In defence only I reacted to her, the video proof is there."
He further wrote, "On 9.7.2016, she only came to my room telling she felt intense sexual urge. She only kissed me and hugged me without any consent. So I recorded it as proof and sent it to her husband, (name), because I told her earlier not to come to my room so many times."
The IPS trainee further wrote that the woman subsequently "manipulated everything" and alleged that he had assaulted her, which, according to him, is "not true." He also alleged that the complaint was filed after her friends instigated her further and sought action against the woman, her husband and two others.
Police said the allegations are under investigation and that further legal action will be taken based on the evidence collected.
Reddy remains under observation at the hospital. Officials from the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel National Police Academy also visited the hospital and met the attending doctors to gather details about the incident and assess his medical condition, sources said.
