Amaravati: Senior IPS Officer PSR Anjaneyulu Hospitalized Amid Ongoing Legal Battles
Senior IPS officer PSR Anjaneyulu, currently in judicial custody for the Kadambari Jethwani and APPSC irregularities cases, was admitted to a government hospital in Vijayawada after a health setback. The officer’s remand has been extended until June 4, 2025, as authorities intensify investigations into his alleged misconduct.
Health Deterioration and Hospitalization
Anjaneyulu, detained in Vijayawada District Jail, experienced a sudden drop in blood pressure, prompting his transfer to a government hospital for medical attention. His condition is being monitored, with no further details disclosed regarding the severity or prognosis.
Kadambari Jethwani Case
Anjaneyulu faces allegations in a case involving the unlawful detention of Mumbai actress Kadambari Jethwani. The Vijayawada court extended his remand in this case until June 4, 2025, following his arrest by Andhra Pradesh CID on April 22, 2025.
APPSC Irregularities Allegations
A separate case accuses Anjaneyulu of inappropriate evaluation, bribery, and irregularities in the 2018 APPSC Group-I main examination evaluation process. Charges under IPC Sections 409 and 420 have been filed, with investigations ongoing.
CID Search Operations
On May 23, 2025, Andhra Pradesh CID conducted extensive searches at Anjaneyulu’s farmhouse in Moinabad, Hyderabad, from morning until 10 PM. This follows his arrest at the same location, as authorities seek evidence related to both cases.
Legal Proceedings and Remand Extension
The Vijayawada court extended Anjaneyulu’s remand in the Jethwani case until June 4, 2025, while a custody petition hearing in the APPSC case was deferred to May 23, 2025. His bail petition in the Jethwani case was rejected by the Vijayawada Women’s Sessions Court.
Context of Arrest
Anjaneyulu, a former intelligence chief under the YSRCP government, was arrested as part of a broader crackdown on alleged irregularities during the previous administration. The cases have drawn significant attention due to their high-profile nature.
Implications for Andhra Pradesh
The cases underscore ongoing efforts to address administrative malfeasance in Andhra Pradesh, with Anjaneyulu’s legal troubles highlighting systemic issues. The outcome of these cases could influence public trust in governance and law enforcement.
