Hyderabad, Dec 4 (SocialNews.XYZ) Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) MLA Padi Kaushik Reddy was Wednesday booked by Hyderabad Police for allegedly threatening a police officer.
A case against Kaushik Reddy and his supporters was booked at Banjara Hills Police Station on a complaint by Circle Inspector Raghavendra.
The inspector alleged that the MLA from Huzurabad threatened him and tried to obstruct him in the discharge of his duties.
The incident occurred when the MLA along with about 20 supporters went to Banjara Hills Police Station to lodge a complaint that his phone was being tapped.
When the MLA was coming to the station, the Circle Inspector or the Station House Officer Raghavendra was going out.
Kaushik Reddy insisted that the SHO should leave only after taking his complaint. When the police officer told him that he was going for some urgent work and would take the complaint on his return, the MLA vented his ire.
Kaushik Reddy had heated argument with the SHO and told him that when a MLA comes to the police station it is the duty of the SHO to receive him properly. He was heard threatening the police officer.
The MLA’s supporters stopped the SHO’s vehicle and raised slogans. The SHO came back and took the complaint from the MLA.
Later, the police registered a case against Kaushik Reddy on a complaint by the SHO. The case has been registered for the offences of unlawful assembly; using force for obstructing the duties of a public servant; criminal intimidation; wrongful restraint, public nuisance and rioting against Kaushik Reddy and others.
Kaushik Reddy in his complaint alleged that his personal phone calls are being tapped. He wrote that he has strong reasons to believe that Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy and IG Shivadhar Reddy might be involved in unauthorised tapping.
The MLA sought a thorough investigation into the matter and legal action against those responsible for illegal tapping.
Kaushik Reddy said when a person lodged a complaint against BRS leader and former minister T. Harish Rao, police registered but no such action has been taken on his complaint.
