A sub-inspector of police, working at the Amaravathi police station, was suspended following a departmental inquiry into allegations of misbehaviour with a couple at a lodge on Tuesday night. Vijaya Rao said disciplinary action was initiated against Yedukondalu and his driver after a preliminary inquiry into his misbehaviour with the couple. The SP also visited the Amaravathi police station and conducted an inquiry, but the SI has been reportedly absconding. When the man said he had only ₹3,000 with him, the SI reportedly asked his driver to accompany him to an ATM and get the remaining money. DSP, Thullur, Y. Srinivasa Reddy said the SI has been suspended and further action would be taken on the basis of a report by the department.
