On 31 Mar 2025 she reposted on X an AI-generated image (earthmovers, two deer, a peacock) about the felling of trees on 400 acres at Kancha Gachibowli next to the University of Hyderabad, which the state planned to develop and students were protesting; the Supreme Court halted the felling. Cyberabad police served her a notice under s.179 BNSS as a witness and examined her. About a week later she was moved back to the Finance Commission post she held before November 2024. NDTV notes she had been Secretary to the CM under the previous BRS government and was moved out of the CMO when the Congress came to power.
