    BJP lawyer ‘threatens’ Warangal CP for arresting Bandi Sanjay

    Hyderabad: A member of the BJP legal legal cell Neelam Bhargava Ram threatened Warangal police commissioner A.V. Ranganath for arresting Telangana BJP chief Bandi Sanjay. The threat came after a court granted bail to Bandi Sanjay on Thursday, who had been arrested in connection with allegations of a class 10 Hindi second language question paper leaking. The police denied this, and said that the leak was not true.

    Ram, who is the joint convener of the BJP Legal Cell in central Hyderabad, wrote on Twitter, “Commissioner(@cpwrl) try ur best to save your job, everything including your call logs will be probed, who insisted you to falsely implicate @bandisanjay_bjp Aanna in this Case will be brought to public domain, BC Commission waiting in Delhi, over to you @BjpAchary.”

    Dileep tweeted, “Openly threatening and abusing sincere and committed police officers is the new norm for BJP? The other day BJP MLA @RaghunandanraoM abused @TelanganaDGP now another BJP functionary is threatening @cpwrl Hope @IPS_Association is taking note!”

    Bandi Sanjay was arrested from his in-laws’ house in Karimnagar earlier this week in the paper leak case for spreading false information. The arrest triggered protests by the BJP, who called it illegal. On Thursday, a court in Warangal district granted bail to Bandi Sanjay, subject to certain conditions.

    Hyderabad: Telangana BJP president Bandi Sanjay Kumar, who was arrested in a case related to class X question paper leak, has moved a bail application in a Warangal court which would hear it on Thursday, an advocate said.

    Sanjay Kumar, a Lok Sabha MP from Karimnagar constituency, was picked up by a team of police past midnight on Tuesday from his residence in Karimnagar city and was initially put under preventive arrest, triggering protests by his party workers.

    “A bail application was moved last night in a Warangal Court. It is expected to be heard today. Also, there was a habeas corpus petition filed in the Telangana High Court. That also would come up for hearing today,” BJP leader and advocate Rachana Reddy told PTI.

    Amid midnight drama, Sanjay was arrested by police on Wednesday after he was named as the prime accused by the city police in connection with the case of malpractice after a question paper of Standard 10 (SSC) board examination surfaced on groups of an instant messaging app. He was produced in a local court in the evening in Warangal.

    According to Warangal Police Commissioner AV Ranganath, Sanjay Kumar conspired with an intention to create rumours and provoke a breach of peace of the ongoing public examination in Telangana state after images of two question papers surfaced in social media, to defame the government for the circulation to create fear among students and their parents thereby to defame the duly elected state government.
