IPS officer Charu Sinha is back in Telangana—this time as CID chief—and she’s making heads turn. Not just for her rock-solid record in tackling Naxals and terrorists, but for her look: dreadlocks. From leading CRPF in Srinagar during peak unrest to now heading Women Safety and Bharosa too, she’s done it all. But it’s the quiet confidence and that unmistakable swag that has everyone talking. “She didn’t return, she arrived”, as per young officers. Lady Singham, now with locks to match her legacy. She is No-nonsense on duty, but off duty? Total vibe. No one’s seen a top cop walk in with this kind of presence in a long time—and it’s clearly shaking things up. In a world of crisp buns and polished boots, Charu Sinha just reminded everyone that power isn’t always in the protocol. Sometimes, it walks in wrapped in grit, grace, and a whole lot of dreadlocked dignity.
Nizamabad CP’s Shiva Tandavam Moment Wins the Internet
It was a brief moment, but it struck a powerful chord. During the Telangana Formation Day celebrations, Nizamabad Commissioner of Police K R Nagaraju was spotted humming along as the Shiva Tandava Stotram echoed through the venue—and the internet took note. Netizens were quick to appreciate the top cop’s unfiltered connect & others lauded him for not shying away from singing along in uniform.
For the uninitiated, the powerful stotram was played right before the briefing of Operation Sindoor, by Armed forces officers, setting a tone of intensity and purpose. That video alone had already broken the internet—Nagaraju’s spontaneous moment only added more spark.
Ilambarithi Escapes the Monsoon Mayhem
Talk about perfect timing—Ilambarithi has walked out of GHMC just before the rains roll in, and insiders are calling it the luckiest bureaucratic escape of the season. When he took charge, the monsoon had already wrapped up. And now, just as the clouds are gathering again, he moved out—clearly a happy man with a clean exit. For newbies, GHMC Commissioner’s job knows monsoon is the toughest stretch: waterlogging, traffic chaos, open drains, seasonal illnesses, citizen outrage—the works. New commissioner has to face the music—flood complaints, dengue buzz, and angry WhatsApp groups. Yours truly wishes him luck just like officers in corridors of power have been doing it. He’ll need it.
Bureaucratic Storm Brewing, Nizamabad May See Exit
Another round of transfers is loading in Telangana—this time, it’s the districts that are under the scanner. A major reshuffle is expected any moment now, with most collectors likely to be moved. But it’s Nizamabad that’s buzzing the most. Whispers in Secretariat corridors say the change here is almost sealed—not for administrative lapses, but because of the growing chatter about family members of the collector getting too involved in official matters. That’s never a good look, and it seems the top brass isn’t amused. Across districts, performance, political equations, and even a few image issues are shaping the list. The exercise is also expected to realign postings based on recent performance and internal feedback from ministers and MLAs. A few surprise names may enter the mix, especially young officers who’ve been waiting in the wings for key district roles. It’s going to be a game of chairs—and from the looks of it, the music has already started.
Retired IPS ABV Slams AP Police Over Public Humiliation
Retired IPS officer A B Venkateswara Rao has come down heavily on the Andhra Pradesh police for what he called “cruel and excessive” treatment of three accused individuals, who were allegedly beaten and paraded on public roads. Though full details of the case are still murky, the visuals reportedly showing the accused being thrashed and photographed in the open sparked outrage. Rao didn’t mince words. He said such public humiliation was a direct violation of the accused’s dignity and due process. “This undermines the very foundation of legal safeguards,” he remarked. Known for his sharp takes on policing standards, ABV cautioned that such street justice tactics could deeply damage public trust in law enforcement. His words echoed the growing discomfort among civil society and former officers about how policing is evolving under the current regime. His comments have now added weight to the calls for accountability—and reminded the system that even those under arrest deserve constitutional protection, not spectacle.
