Jethwani case: Andhra Pradesh revokes suspension of IPS officers Kanthi Rana Tata, Vishal Gunni
The government revokes the suspension of the two officers without prejudice to disciplinary and criminal proceedings; five policemen, three of them IPS, were suspended on September 15, 2024, over the arrest of actor Kadambari Jethwani and her parents without proper verification
The Andhra Pradesh government has revoked the suspension of two Indian Police Service officers, Kanthi Rana Tata and Vishal Gunni, in connection with the Kadambari Jethwani case. The decision was made on September 3, 2026, after careful examination of the matter and despite ongoing disciplinary and criminal proceedings. The officers were initially suspended in 2024 for violating disciplinary rules and allegedly misusing their official powers in a land deal case.
The Jethwani case involves actress Kadambari Jethwani and her family, who were arrested by Andhra Pradesh police in February 2024. The officers' reinstatement comes under scrutiny as the actor alleges that the police acted with highhandedness during the arrest and attempted to seize their electronic devices before registering the FIR.
