The health crisis surrounding senior IPS officer PSR Anjaneyulu deepened once again as he was rushed from Vijayawada district jail to a government hospital on Saturday following severe blood pressure fluctuations. Anjaneyulu, currently in judicial custody in connection with the high-profile Andhra Pradesh Public Service Commission (APPSC) scam, has reportedly been battling persistent hypertension issues due to age-related complications.
This marks the second time within a week that the embattled officer has been moved to a hospital. Sources say he will remain under medical supervision until at least Saturday evening before a decision is made regarding his return to jail. Officials noted that his condition required immediate attention, prompting swift action by the prison authorities.
PSR Anjaneyulu, once a high-ranking official with an influential track record, first found himself behind bars following serious allegations of misconduct involving Mumbai-based actress Kadambari Jethwani. He was accused of detaining her illegally and filing a false case. While he was granted bail in that case just two days ago by the High Court, his legal troubles have only deepened with the emergence of fresh charges in the APPSC scam.
In the ongoing investigation, Anjaneyulu is accused of enabling private individuals to tamper with the evaluation of government examination papers—an explosive claim that has rocked the integrity of the state’s recruitment process. Another suspect, Dhatri Madhu, has also been arrested in connection with the scam, and both are currently under intensive police questioning.
Meanwhile, former Gannavaram MLA Vallabhaneni Vamsi, also under judicial remand in a separate fake housing patta case, is facing health issues of his own. Following a plea submitted by Vamsi, the court granted permission for him to receive medical care. Acting on the court’s directive, police transferred him to a private hospital in Vijayawada where he is expected to undergo treatment for the next few days under close medical supervision.
As both high-profile detainees undergo treatment, the spotlight now intensifies on the state’s legal and political machinery, with growing public interest in the outcomes of these high-stakes cases.
