An IPS trainee at the National Police Academy in Hyderabad, against whom a fellow probationer has levelled harassment allegations, has been hospitalised after a suspected suicide attempt, officials said.

In a suicide note, the trainee, Uday Krishna Reddy, claimed that he was in a romantic relationship with the fellow IPS probationer who had levelled the allegations against him, and that she had insisted on continuing their intimate relationship even after her marriage.

The trainee, Uday Krishna Reddy, visited a friend's residence in the city on Sunday evening and is suspected to have consumed a bottle of poison, according to sources. However, authorities are yet to officially confirm whether the incident was a suicide attempt.

He was admitted to a hospital, where he remains under observation. Officials from the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel National Police Academy also visited the hospital and met the attending doctors to gather details about the incident and assess his medical condition, sources said.

The incident comes days after a 30-year-old fellow IPS probationer, 30, lodged a complaint accusing Reddy of stalking, assault, criminal intimidation and secretly recording a private video without her consent. She said the incidents occurred on multiple occasions throughout June.

Based on her complaint, Hyderabad Police registered a case under multiple provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), along with relevant sections of the Information Technology Act.

In her complaint, Suma alleged that Reddy sent her sexually abusive messages on WhatsApp and made derogatory remarks about her before fellow probationers. She further claimed that he repeatedly accused her of being in a relationship with another trainee, pressured her to admit to it and verbally abused her.

She also alleged that Reddy forcibly accessed her mobile phone, compelled her to unlock it, examined her private chats and later took the device to his room, forcing her to disclose its password.

In another incident, she alleged that he wrongfully restrained her, forced her into his room, physically assaulted her, pulled her hair, attempted to strangle her and held a knife to her neck while preventing her from leaving. She also claimed that he threw packets of condoms at her during the incident. She further alleged that another assault took place on July 10, during which he attempted to touch her inappropriately.

Among the most serious allegations, Suma claimed that Reddy secretly recorded a private video of her without her consent and later sent it to her husband in an attempt to blackmail her. She also accused him of trying to damage her reputation by spreading false and derogatory information about her.

Police said the allegations are under investigation and that further legal action will be taken based on the evidence collected.

Further details regarding Sunday's incident involving Reddy are awaited.
