Hyderabad city police on Friday registered a case against Union Ministers and Telangana Rashtra Samithi leaders K Chandrasekhar Rao and A Narendra and 30 other activists for inciting violence and promoting enmity.
FIR to be filed against TRS leaders
Acting on the directive of the third additional chief metropolitan magistrate, the city police booked the case against the two union ministers and their party activists under various provisions of the Indian Penal Code.
But before affecting the arrest of the union ministers, the city police would have to obtain the permission of the Lok Sabha Speaker.
TRS to decide whether to continue with UPA
The magistrate had issued the orders to the police on a private complaint lodged by a city journalist that the utterances of Narendra and Chandrasekhar Rao were detrimental to peace and harmony of the state. The magistrate directed the police to investigate the matter and submit a report to the court under section 156 (3) of the Criminal Procedure Code.
The complainant had alleged that the TRS functionaries had made inciting statements, calling upon the residents of a region in the state to take to violence if any person or party stopped the movement for separate Telangana state. The other accused include chief commander K Umakant and 29 other functionaries of Telangana Jagarana Sena, a militant wing of the TRS.
The petitioner took objection to recent statements of the TRS leaders that there would be bloodshed if anybody opposed Telangana and that the TJS members would arm themselves with Ak-47 and "wash the feet of mother Telangana with the blood of betrayers."
TRS organises show of strength
All the accused participated in drills and physical exercises as part of training programme "to carry out attacks
against people of other regions," the complainant alleged.
