Phone tapping leak DCP records senior police officers conversation during Cauvery riots

A DCP-rank City police officer has been accused of tapping and leaking the phone conversation of his senior officer causing much embarrassment to the department.

According to Suvarna News, DCP Ajay Hilori had tapped the conversation between his senior Additional Commissioner Charan Reddy and Karnataka Rakshana Vedike president Narayan Gowda. During the Cauvery agitation, DCP Ajay Hilori had arrested one of the KRV members Kannada Prakash. Apparently, following a request made by KRV president Narayangowda, senior officer Charan Reddy had asked DCP Hilori not to arrest Kannada Prakash.

But violating the Police Book rules to the wind, DCP Ajay Hilori had not only tapped the conversation but also allegedly leaked it. It is said that alleged infighting between the senior officers was the reason behind it.

Senior officer Charan Reddy has brought this to the notice of Director General of Police RK Datta and the latter has directed City Police Commissioner Praveen Sood to investigate. But even after three notices, Sood has not taken up the matter against DCP Hilori. Sources said Sood's attempt to protect officer Hilori has not gone down well with other officers.

The whole incident has now snowballed into a big controversy exposing the chinks in the armour of police department.
