Andhra Pradesh Director General of Police V Dinesh Reddy today said he would file a complaint with the Press Council of India in connection with a news report which was published in a leading English newspaper on September 13 about his meeting with a local spiritual leader here.
Reddy told reporters that apart from complaining to the PCI, he will also file a defamation suit after the city police on September 17 booked a case against the Resident Editor of the daily following a complaint alleging the report was false and published without verification of facts.
Reddy said he has already sent a rejoinder to the newspaper in this connection.
