Uday Krishna Reddy Remanded To 14 Days In Judicial Custody

The legal proceedings against the trainee officer escalated rapidly after the Upparapalli court in Rajendranagar issued its remand order on July 29, 2026. Following the court’s decision, police transferred the accused to Chanchalguda Jail. The defense team argued during the hearing that police violated BNS Section 35(3) regulations by executing an arrest without serving prior formal notices or conducting a proper preliminary inquiry. Prosecutors countered by highlighting formal complaints lodged on July 15 and July 17, which detailed a pattern of intimidation that triggered disciplinary action from the academy.

Arrest Details and Scene Reconstruction Leading to Upparapalli Court

Hyderabad police apprehended the suspect on Tuesday night after a multi-team manhunt following a complaint from a Karnataka-born woman training at the same national facility. The investigation, directed by DCP Lavanya Nayak Jadhav and led by Inspector Jyotsna, involved gathering statements directly inside the National Police Academy. Medical evaluations conducted on the complainant revealed visible injuries, including bruises on the neck and throat, contusions on the cheek, and marks on the left leg.

Authorities deployed four separate operational teams when initial visits to two residential addresses in Hyderabad yielded no trace of the suspect. Investigators tracked his movements to Ongole and subsequently toward Karnataka before intercepting his vehicle near Miryalaguda. Prior to the court appearance, Attapur CI Seetayya led a scene reconstruction at Ashok Nagar, inspecting the specific room where the accused resided before officers administered medical examinations.

Inside the FIR: WhatsApp Harassment and Blade Threats at the Academy

The formal police report outlines severe allegations of physical and psychological abuse occurring within the academy grounds. According to the documentation retrieved from the FIR registered by Attapur police, the accused subjected the fellow trainee to persistent digital harassment via WhatsApp while simultaneously spreading false rumors regarding their interactions among peers. The complaint states that the suspect directed derogatory slurs at the victim and falsely claimed she maintained an illicit relationship with another trainee official.

The harassment escalated from digital messaging to physical confinement and digital extortion. Investigators noted that the suspect recorded personal videos without the complainant’s knowledge, using the footage to blackmail her and forwarding files to her husband. On the night of July 9, the situation turned violent when the accused forced her into his room, seized her mobile phone, grabbed her by the hair, and held a knife to her neck while threatening her safety and throwing three condom packets onto her.

Academy Disciplinary Action and Judicial Next Steps

The institutional fallout parallels the ongoing criminal case in the judicial system. Alongside the police remand, the National Police Academy issued a show-cause notice requiring the trainee officer to appear for disciplinary proceedings on August 5, 2026. Rajendranagar DCP Srinivasa coordinated the multi-team deployment that secured the arrest ahead of the remand hearing.

With the defense petition for bail rejected by the magistrate and the 14-day judicial custody order locked in through August 11, the investigation moves forward under the purview of local law enforcement and academy administrators as both criminal prosecution and internal service reviews proceed in parallel.
