Telangana transfers IAS officer Smita Sabharwal, who reshared AI image in Hyderabad land row, others

Senior IAS officer Smita Sabharwal, recently summoned by the police over a social media post related to a Hyderabad land dispute, is among 20 officers transferred by the Telangana government on Sunday. Sabharwal, who had reshared an AI-generated Ghibli-style image about alleged tree cutting on 400 acres near Hyderabad Central University, was questioned by Cyberabad police last week. She had criticised what she called “selective targeting”, asking whether action was also taken against the nearly 2,000 others who reshared the same post.
