Telangana BJP has urged DGP Ravi Gupta to instruct his officials to withdraw ‘false’ cases filed against national general secretary Bandi Sanjay Kumar and other party leaders for visiting Chengicherla to console the victims of a communal clash.
A delegation led by former MLC N. Ramchander Rao, legal cell convenor G. Rama Rao and others met the DGP on Saturday to present a memorandum seeking intervention, claiming that innocents were being harassed instead of action being initiated against the culprits responsible for the violence. “Police are coercing our leaders and workers, abusing them physically and subjecting them to emotional trauma,” the memorandum read.
In a separate press conference, former MLA N.V.S.S. Prabhakar demanded a comprehensive probe into the role of former chief minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao, his son K.T.Rama Rao, Home Minister Mahmood Ali and the then DGP to ferret out truth. He wondered how such a political exercise could take place without the knowledge of then DGP.
