Central Minister Bandi Sanjay's Statement on Bhagirath's Arrest in Hyderabad Poxo Case Hyderabad, [Date] — Central Minister Bandi Sanjay has made public statements regarding the arrest of Bhagirath, a man accused in a Poxo case, following police investigations. The incident has sparked discussions about legal procedures and the role of authorities in such sensitive cases. According to recent reports, Bhagirath was apprehended by Hyderabad police after a series of legal actions, including the issuance of a "luqat" notice. The police had initially searched for him, and after a tense standoff, he surrendered at the Patancheruvu police station. The case, which involves allegations under the Poxo Act, has been under scrutiny since its registration in early August. Bandi Sanjay, who has been vocal about the legal process, stated in a social media post that Bhagirath had voluntarily appeared before the police for questioning. The minister emphasized that the investigation is ongoing and that the legal system will determine the outcome. "The accused has cooperated with the authorities, and the process is transparent," he said, sharing a photo of Bhagirath at the police station. The Poxo case, which pertains to allegations of sexual misconduct, was initially registered with the police after a complaint from the victim. Following the incident, the police conducted a thorough investigation, leading to the filing of charges under sections of the Poxo Act. The case was later transferred to the district police station for further proceedings. Bandi Sanjay's involvement in the case has drawn attention, as he has been a prominent figure in Telangana politics. His comments on the matter have been interpreted as a demonstration of his commitment to upholding the rule of law.#hyderabad_police #bandi_sanjay #bhagirath #poxo_case #patancheruvu_police_station
High Court Delays Hearing on Bhagirath Case Amid Birth Certificate Discrepancies The Hyderabad High Court postponed the hearing on a high-profile case involving Bhagirath, the son of former minister Bandi Sanjay Kumar, following a dispute over the accused's age. The case centers on a Poxo complaint filed by a female victim, and the court has ordered an investigation into the discrepancies in the victim's birth certificate. The case, which has drawn significant public attention, involves allegations of sexual misconduct against Bhagirath. The court initially scheduled a hearing on the matter but delayed it after the petitioner's legal team highlighted inconsistencies in the victim's age as stated in the police complaint and her official documents. The victim's birth certificate, issued by the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation, lists her birth year as 2008, while her PAN card records it as 2010. This discrepancy has raised questions about the accuracy of the evidence presented by the prosecution. During the hearing, the petitioner's lawyer, Niranjana Reddy, argued that the victim's age was critical to determining the legal validity of the case. He cited the police complaint, which states the victim was 15 years old at the time of the alleged incident, but pointed out that the birth certificate and PAN card contradict this. The court, however, emphasized that the victim's age should not be used to determine her legal status as a criminal until the case is fully resolved. The court also addressed the legal team's conduct during the proceedings, warning that any further misconduct could result in the case being transferred to another bench.#greater_hyderabad_municipal_corporation #hyderabad_high_court #bhagirath #bandi_sanjay_kumar #niranjana_reddy
