The Karimnagar rural police on Wednesday registered a case against five persons, including husbands of three women corporators of Karimnagar Municipal Corporation (KMC), on charges of house trespass, criminal intimidation and extortion, police said.

Edla Ashok, husband of 25th division corporator, K Srinivas, husband of 2nd division corporator, T Balaiah, husband of 20th division corporator, are among those booked by the police on a complaint by a government teacher of Vivekanandapuri in Karimnagar.
