Hyderabad: Madhapur inspector Gaddam Mallesh found himself in hot water on Saturday after allegedly violating regulations against celebrating birthdays and taking selfies on the Durgam Cheruvu cable bridge.
The Madhapur police had announced strict implementation of rules last month prohibiting birthday parties, taking of selfies and gathering on the bridge due to safety concerns after an accident which claimed a life of a young man and left several others injured.
In a statement issued a few months ago, Mallesh had warned that those violating the regulations would face punishment under Section 188.
It came to light, however, that Mallesh along with two others celebrated his birthday by cutting cake on the cable bridge, violating the rules.
“We are conducting a thorough investigation into the matter, and a departmental inquiry is underway. Appropriate action will be taken once all the facts are gathered,” said Madhapur DCP Dr Vineeth G.
