Police said Srinivas Reddy had recently posted a video showing some Telangana State Special Police (TSSP) personnel working in an agricultural land and claimed it was the Chief Minister’s farm house. However, it was fake and hurt the morale of the state police force.

TSSP officials condemning the post clarified that the video was an old one taken when the personnel were readying the farmland in their battalion at Dichpally.
