Hyderabad: Swathi Goud, Trimulgherry assistant motor vehicle inspector, was suspended on Wednesday afternoon in the wake of her attack on a lorry driver-cum-owner Srikath Reddy during an enforcement drive last Saturday. The incident, which took place at Sagar Ring Road, was captured by the CCTV cameras and the visuals have gone viral, forcing the police to register a case.

Srikanth said that Swathi demanded a bribe to let the driver-cum-owner of the lorry. Srikanth Reddy had all the requisite papers with him and was not at fault. He refused to pay the bribe. Then, Swathi called two bouncers and asked them to thrash Reddy. The thrashing was caught on CCTV cameras.

When Reddy went to file a complaint against her with the LB Nagar police, they refused to book a case claiming they would investigate and then register a case. But, the same police registered a case against him after Swathi Goud filed a complaint.

With the footage going viral, the police have now filed a case against Swathi Goud. However, Swathi refuted Reddy's allegations and said that the lorry driver abused her due to which she sought the help of her brothers. This led to a scuffle, she says.

Significantly, the area where the enforcement drive was conducted, does not fall under Swathi Goud's jurisdiction. There have been similar complaints against her over breaching jurisdiction. She is also said to have used her position to get some cases against her brother struck off.
