An Assistant Director from the Information and Public Relations (I&PR) Department was allegedly threatened by police and denied entry into Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy’s residence in New Delhi on Saturday.
I&PR Assistant Director Harsha Bhargavi, who recently took charge as the State’s Chief Public Relations Officer (CPRO) in New Delhi, had gone to the Chief Minister’s residence to pay a courtesy
visit. However, police personnel stopped her at the gate and refused permission to enter, despite her identifying herself as a government employee.
Bhargavi told the police that some of her colleagues had already been allowed inside, but the officials insisted she wait at the gate, citing security reasons. When she questioned their conduct, she was allegedly threatened with arrest and asked to move away from the entrance.
