The Andhra Pradesh government has suspended three senior IPS officers following an inquiry into allegations made by Mumbai-based actress Kadambari Jethwani . These suspensions come after Jethwani accused them of harassment, allegedly instigated by a film producer and political leader of YSR Congress, according to news reports. The controversy centers around accusations that Jethwani and her family were unlawfully arrested and harassed.
Who is model-actress Kadambari Jethwani? According to her IMDb profile, model-actress Kadambari Jethwani, 28, studied at elite schools in Ahmedabad and earned a Visharad in Bharatnatyam. After moving to Mumbai for her mother’s job, a chance meeting with a director led to her debut in the Hindi film "Sadda Adda." She later starred in Kannada, Telugu, Malayalam, and Punjabi films including Ouija (Kannada), Aata (Telugu), I Love Me (Malayalam) and Oh Yaara Ainvayi Ainvayi Lut Gaya (Punjabi).
Why were the IPS officers suspended One of the suspended IPS officer is accused of misusing his position and giving verbal orders for Jethwani’s arrest before a formal crime had even been recorded. It is alleged that he instructed the other officers to take the actress into custody, setting off a chain of actions that have now been called into question. His suspension is based on allegations of grave misconduct and abuse of power.
One of the officer is facing suspension for carrying out these oral instructions without following proper legal procedures. On January 31, 2024, he allegedly ordered the arrest of Jethwani, even though an official First Information Report (FIR) wasn’t filed until February 2. Additionally, he reportedly arranged travel for officers to Mumbai to execute the arrest without obtaining written orders or conducting a thorough investigation.
This act of negligence has been cited as a serious breach of duty. The inquiry that led to these suspensions was initiated by Director General of Police Dwarka Tirumala Rao after Jethwani lodged a formal complaint online with the Andhra Pradesh police. She personally recorded her statement with the Vijayawada police on August 30, 2024, detailing the harassment she and her family endured.
Home Minister V. Anitha had previously stated that the government was treating the case with the seriousness it deserved, signaling its commitment to investigate the matter thoroughly.

He accused the actress of fabricating documents to illegally acquire land and extorting Rs 5 lakh from him.
Following these accusations, the a case was registered against against Jethwani and her parents. Acting on these charges, a police team traveled to Mumbai, arrested the family, and brought them to Vijayawada, where they were remanded in custody. However, they were eventually released on bail.
Kadambari Jethwani has acted in many movies Jethwani has strongly denied the allegations and said that it was for a retaliation for a case she had filed against him at Bandra Kurla Police Station in Mumbai. She alleged that the producer, along with the police, conspired to force her into withdrawing the case. According to Jethwani, several high-ranking police officers were involved in the unlawful actions against her, acting in coordination with the producer.
In a recent meeting with NTR Police Commissioner SV Rajasekhar Babu, Jethwani reiterated her accusations, demanding accountability and justice for the mistreatment of her family. She maintains that her family, which includes her elderly parents, was unfairly targeted and subjected to undue harassment. Jethwani’s father, a retired Army officer, and her mother, a retired Assistant Manager from the Reserve Bank of India, were both arrested and mistreated without due respect for their seniority.
The actress’s allegations have raised concerns about the role of political influence in the actions of law enforcement, and she has called for an impartial investigation into the matter. (With Agency Inputs).
