DISCREET CHANNELS:
There stand some discreet informants associated directly with this case
and episode, who have furnished the information on condition of
anonymity and condition of maintaining secrecy.

The information run as follows.

1. The CP is known as a tough officer while discharging his duties

and people friendly. He, in his earlier terms at Kurnool, Guntur,
Khammam and Hyderabad generated tremendous amount of respect with
local people and also wrath from affected quarters. He is also
known to have ensured law and order in his own imitable and
aggressive style, on many occasions, trespassing accepted
practices of human rights. In fact, few of his actions were
enquired into by National Human Rights Commission, AP State Human
Rights Commission and the AP High Court.

2. The CP was in the process of making many changes and reforms in

order to curtail illegal and unlawful activities in Vijayawada.
There were news articles too on this (Annexure1A. B). In the
course of duty, one of persons with political background, who has
certain criminal cases pending against him, was also called and
 6

subjected to counselling (Refer see Annexure 2A, B). The friction

began when the CP reduced this person’s security as he was violating
the prescribed security protocols. It was noted that this person used
to move in a convoy of five vehicles with same number plates as it is
done in VVIP (PM/CM) convoy movement. This convoy movement was
stopped and his vehicles were reduced to two instead of five. Also
since it was found that the PSOs (gunmen)

given to him were not being used as per the security protocols, the
PSOs were withdrawn.

3. Discreet sources reveal that there were inputs given to the CP

that this person was trying to do a sting operation against him.
We are given to understand that the CP was aware of what was
happening and was in the know of things and was in the process of
unravelling how the other person was attempting to manipulate for
his advantage.

4. In this backdrop, exchange of text messages between the doctor and

the CP happened. Discreet sources reveal that this was in the know
of certain individuals in the government and in power.

5. As per our enquiry and knowledge, we understood that there were

equal numbers of calls from both sides, indicating that these were
mere responses as opposed to any harassment. Further, we rule out
the possibility of an affair since the numbers of calls from both
parties were few and equal and that it lasted intermittently for
short period of time weeks with the know of the CP and the doctor
and then stopped.
6. Sometime in November 2010, the person attempted to telecast this
as a news item in a particular news channel by showing the one
sided transcript of SMS. The concerned in the news channel and its
 7

management contacted the CP and requested for a meeting. During the

discussion with the other channel, CP showed them the SMS from the
counter party, his information and actual happenings. After hearing
both versions, the channel has decided against pursuing the story
based on merits.

With above stated facts we draw the conclusions to this report as un-
disputed facts.

IS Mr. PSR ANJENELYU INVOLVED IN SENDING THIS SMS MESSAGE

FACT: Going by the statements and other revelations we observed that

this interaction of messages between Mr. ANJANEYULU and the doctor is in
October and November, moreover this messages were from both sides, as
per discreet documents.
Why did the doctor has not given complaint earlier, when she was
aggrieved.
Questionable fact is whether she knows the political leader Mr. VAMSI
which stands revealed and documented that she is very well known to the
political leader.
IS SHE FAMILIAR THAT SAID POLITICAL LEADER HAS DISPUTE WITH CP

FACT: The said documented proof expose that she was very well in touch
with political leader.

EXPOSURE OF THIS SCANDAL

FACT: It is matter of jurisprudence to understand the timings of said
exposure, when said officer has already declared to go on study leave
and promoted, this scandal was exposed through MEDIA.
 8

The most relevant question is if the so called victimized parties

consider that they are victim of harassment, they need not go to media,
they should have used appropriate platform for redressal of grievances,
more so when she had connections with person with political background.
Going to media in such circumstances is understood to be a planned
controversy only to settle scores and tarnish the image of some one.

PUBLIC FINDINGS
Our findings noted that public is considering this episode as
manipulative and to tarnish the image of the officer.
This case has exceptional value as we found that people in Vijaywada
City are highly conscious of every happening in around the city and they
shall be termed as best judges.

They are not influenced by any media reports but they have capacity to
understand the facts on their own.
We are extremely happy to see that people of this city have co-operated
all round in our efforts to understand this case and understand the
facts and truth through their cooperation.
