BENGALURU: The Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate in Karnataka has directed the police to file a case against IPS officer D Roopa for sharing private pictures of IAS officer Rohini Sindhuri. The action of the court is based on a private complaint filed by Rohini.
On February 18, Roopa shared Sindhuri’s pictures on social media with a note that they were photos sent by Rohini to some male IAS officers through WhatsApp. It is unusual for a female IAS officer to send pictures to a few male IAS officers. The pictures were posted on Facebook with the allegation that this is a violation of the service rules.
However, Rohini has responded that the allegations are baseless and that Rupa is spreading the screenshots of the pictures she shared on social media as WhatsApp status. She also demanded Roopa to reveal to whom the pictures were sent.
