Umesh’s agent stole signed letterhead, says Shankar Rao

HYDERABAD: In a new twist involving Umesh Kumar and the appointment of director general of police, the Musheerabad police has received a complaint from Cantonment MLA Shankar Rao that a signed letterhead of his was stolen by an agent of the officer. The complaint number C 329/20/12 states that the letterhead was used to draft a letter that was sent to the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC).The letter alleged that Dinesh Reddy was a corrupt officer and therefore should not be considered for the top slot. The complaint names the agent who is a lawyer (name witheld). The complaint was given on Sunday.
On receipt of the letter, the UPSC sent it to the state government who examined the letter and found the complaint to be false. Shankar Rao during the questioning revealed that he never wrote the letter and his letterhead was stolen from his office. He also said that he kept signed letterheads as his constituents often sought recommendation letters for darshan.
The police are yet to question the purported agent of Umesh Kumar and figure out whether the version of Shankar Rao is accurate. The UPSC last fortnight cleared the appointment of Dinesh Reddy for the top slot confirming him for two years in the top cop slot.
