Reacting to the police brutality claims, Srinivasa Rao, Sub Inspector of Police at Chittoor 1 Town Police, refused all the allegations and said that there was "no truth" in the woman's statements.
A woman was allegedly beaten up while in custody at a Chittoor police station in Andhra Pradesh.
In a video shared by Telugu Desam Party (TDP) on Twitter, M Umamaheswari of Lakshmi Nagar Colony claimed that she was harassed by the police officials at Chittoor 1 Town police station limits, pressurising her to accept a theft allegation that was falsely levelled against her by her owner.
She said that she was working as a maid at the residence of Venugopal Reddy, Superintendent of District Prisons of Chittoor.
Ms Umamaheswari said there was a clash between Venugopal Reddy and his wife regarding some missing money when she visited their house as part of daily work. At that time, the couple asked her about the missing money.
