Hyderabad: On Sunday, the Telangana State Police Complaint Authority (SPCA) opened its doors in Hyderabad. This organization aims to ensure transparency and accountability, focusing on preventing misuse of power by police officers at the level of Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) and higher.
The creation of the SPCA follows the 2006 guidelines from the Supreme Court after a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) by former IPS officer Prakash Singh.
B Shiva Shankar Rao, a retired judge, leads the authority. He inaugurated the new office located in the D block of BRKR Bhavan. Rao emphasized the importance of the SPCA in upholding police integrity. “Citizens can report any misconduct by police. The State Police Complaint Authority will ensure transparency, accountability, and fair handling of grievances,” he explained.
