Gadag: IPS officer’s brother accused of drunken misconduct at police station
Gadag: A late-night incident at the Betageri Police Station in Gadag has sparked public outrage after the brother of an IPS officer allegedly entered the premises in an inebriated state, behaved inappropriately with police personnel, and obstructed their duties.
The accused, identified as Akshat Haddannavar, brother of IPS officer Anita Haddannavar, reportedly arrived at the station in a car along with an associate and engaged in rowdy behaviour. Witnesses claim that he parked his car in the designated space for the CPI and PSI, forcing the officers to leave their vehicles outside on the roadside. He allegedly used singular and abusive language towards officers and staff.
According to locals, Akshat also got into an altercation with people near the station, declaring that he was a lawyer and questioning their authority to act against him.
Despite the allegations of obstruction of duty and verbal abuse, police reportedly conducted only a drink-and-drive test before letting him go. This has led to public anger, with residents questioning whether the law is being applied differently for the relatives of senior officers compared to ordinary citizens.
An investigation into the incident is yet to be confirmed by the authorities.
