History

The post of Commissioner of Police, Hyderabad City has its roots in Hyderabad State during the Nizam period. Called Kotwal-e-Balda or Kotwal for short, the Commissioner of police was appointed by the Nizam of Hyderabad. Apart from holding the powers and privileges as the head of police, he also enjoyed certain judicial and civil powers. He was the chief adviser to the Nizam on all police matters and was part of his durbar. Most of the Kotwals were nobles. The first Hindu kotwal was Raja Bahadur Venkat Rama Reddy, who served as the Commissioner during the reign of Mir Osman Ali Khan Nizam VII. [1]
