‘Integrity is paramount, don’t forget your roots’: Revanth tells new DSPs

HYDERABAD Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy told the newly recruited DSPs not to forget their social and economic backgrounds or the circumstances that had brought them to the positions they occupied. “Your knowledge, integrity and dedication have brought you here.

Do not forget the purpose for which you joined the police service,” he said. His comments come in the wake of several police officers being trapped by the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) like never before. Mr.

Reddy said their conduct and decisions would directly affect the government’s performance and public image. “Police were often the first institution people approached when confronted with a problem, sometimes even before turning to their own families, he said asking the DSPs to preserve the credibility built by generations of upright police officers. The Chief Minister reminded everyone how the government handled the recruitment process when Group-I recruitment was mired in controversy during the BRS regime.
