Women and Child Development Minister Laxmi Hebbalkar said the government would never tolerate any insult or injustice to women.
Meanwhile, urging the government to consider the act of Mr. Rao seriously, former Minister and BJP leader S. Suresh Kumar said that Mr. Rao has brought disrespect to the police, which raises suspicion on the department itself.
“In the past, the government had washed off its hands by sending him on compulsory leave for misusing his position in the gold smuggling case. It does not bring any honour to the government if it washes off its hands and sends him on compulsory leave this time too. If the government has to send the right signal to society, it has to take effective steps urgently. Otherwise the public may think that the administration is on compulsory leave.”
Director General of Police K. Ramachandra Rao, heading the Directorate of Civil Rights Enforcement, who was earlier accused of helping his stepdaughter Ranya Rao in a gold smuggling case, is once again mired in controversy after a video surfaced on Monday (January 19, 2026) allegedly showing him behaving inappropriately with a woman inside his office while in uniform. | Video Credit: The Hindu
