K. T. Rama Rao, a senior Telangana minister, was booked by police for allegedly assaulting officers outside the state assembly premises.
The police filed a case against K. T. Rama Rao, a senior minister of the Telangana government, after he was alleged to have assaulted law‑enforcement officers outside the Telangana Legislative Assembly in Hyderabad. The incident was reported to have taken place in the vicinity of the assembly complex, prompting immediate police action.
According to the police statement, the minister was identified as the individual who physically confronted the officers, leading to his booking under relevant sections of the law. The authorities have not disclosed the exact nature of the injuries or the specific charges, but the filing of a case indicates a formal investigation is underway.
The development comes amid heightened political rivalry in the state, with the ruling BRS and the opposition Congress frequently clashing over policy and governance issues. Observers note that the incident could add further strain to the already tense relationship between the two parties.
Legal experts say that the booking process will involve a detailed inquiry, and the minister will have the opportunity to present his defence in court. The matter is expected to be closely watched by both political stakeholders and the public.
