Telangana IAS Officers’ Institute files FIR against media outlets

Hyderabad: The city police registered an FIR against certain news channels and other media outlets following a complaint by the Telangana IAS Officers' Institute over a story carried by them which allegedly maligns some woman officers.

The complaint alleged that the media outlets ran a derogatory story, police said on Monday.

In a statement two days ago, the Institute condemned the "false, malicious an unsubstantiated allegations" made against serving woman IAS officers in a recent broadcast by a news channel.

"The broadcast irresponsibly attempted to malign these officers through baseless insinuations and by casting aspersions on the legitimacy of their official postings," it said in the statement.
