lawmaker Dharmapuri Arvind was booked on Wednesday, the 20th of July, for allegedly abusing Telangana Chief Minister Mr. K. Chandrashekar Rao at a media conference on the 13th of July at Nampally in Hyderabad.
The case was lodged at the Saroornagar police station on the basis of a complaint submitted by advocate Mr. V. Ravikumar. In his complaint, Ravikumar alleged the Nizamabad Member of Parliament (MP) had used derogatory words against Mr. K. Chandrashekar Rao and degraded his image to create hate and inciting disaffection towards the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS.)
Furthermore, Mr. Dharampuri Arvind was booked under Indian Penal Code Sections 504 (intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of the peace] and 505(1)(c) [intent to incite a class or community to commit any offense against any other class or community.) This is not the first time, such a complaint has been filed against Mr. Arvind. In the past, January, the TRS’s social media cell lodged a complaint against Arvind in Hyderabad for allegedly circulating a morphed photo of the chief minister.
Mr. Satish Reddy, a convener of the cell, complained to the Banjara Hills police that the MP had circulated online the morphed photo making fun of Chandrashekar Rao. His complaint said the post was aimed at creating unrest and promoting enmity between different groups and that it hurt TRS workers’ sentiments.
