Sub Inspector K Bhavana is currently working at Panjagutta police station and her husband Ravuri Kishore is with city Armed Reserve. They both got married in the month of August. Anand said that the department would have given prior permission for the shoot.
“Policing is a very very tough job, especially for ladies. And she finding a spouse in the department is an occasion for all of us to celebrate. The fact that it’s two police officers, I find nothing wrong in them using the police department property and symbols. If they had informed us earlier, we would have definitely given consent for the shoot,” Anand added.
To the officers who felt it wasn’t appropriate to use the uniform and police premises, he said, “Some of us may feel outraged, but I feel like meeting them and blessing them, though they didn’t invite me for their wedding”.
Few netizens came forward criticizing the couple for brazen use of power while others appreciated them for including cinematic elements into the video.
The couple performances were shot in iconic locations in Hyderabad including Charminar and Laad Bazaar.
