BRS MLCs’ bail challenged by Hyderabad police
Hyderabad police have petitioned the court to cancel the bail granted to two BRS MLCs who were arrested for allegedly making abusive remarks against the Assembly Speaker. This legal action follows a broader political confrontation between the BRS party and the police at the Telangana Legislative Assembly.
Why it matters
The case highlights ongoing political tensions and the use of legal mechanisms like the SC/ST Act in the context of legislative disputes in India.
Saifabad police have moved the court seeking cancellation of bail granted to BRS MLCs Tata Madhu and Naveen Reddy, who were arrested under the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act over alleged abusive remarks against Assembly Speaker Gaddam Prasad Kumar.
The two legislators were arrested on Tuesday following complaints over their alleged remarks against the Speaker. Police had sought their remand, but the court rejected the plea and granted them bail on personal sureties.
On Thursday, police approached the court again, seeking cancellation of the relief granted to the two MLCs. The move comes amid continuing action against BRS leaders following Monday’s confrontation between the party’s legislators and police at Gate No. 3 of the Telangana Legislative Assembly.
