HYDERABAD: Hours after Telangana Congress leaders took out a massive rally which led to traffic jams at different parts of the city on the occasion of Congress MP A Revanth Reddy taking charge as Pradesh Congress Committee president, Hyderabad police on Wednesday night slammed multiple charges against Revanth Reddy and other Congress leaders.
Begum Bazar police booked a criminal case against former Secunderabad MP Anjan Kumar Yadav, Revanth Reddy, Anil Yadav and others on the charge of 341(Punishment for wrongful restraint), 149 (Every member of unlawful assembly guilty of offence committed in prosecution of common object), 290 (Punishment for public nuisance ) and other relevant sections of IPC, violation of Disaster Management Act and City Police Act.
The rally taken out by Congress leaders has led to traffic disturbance at various parts of the city, which includes Masab Tank, Mallepally, Nampally, Lakidikapul, different roads of Banjara Hills, Jubilee Hills and others.
As a result, motorists faced severe difficulty in commuting as a large number of Congress leaders took out rallies to converge at Gandhi Bhavan.
Infact, a few days ago the permission sought by Anjan Kumar Yadav for taking out a rally to reach Gandhi Bhavan was denied by Hyderabad police.
"Despite the permission was denied, two different rallies were taken out. These rallies were taken out in those routes which are not part of notified routes, where rallies can be taken only with permission. Many in these rallies violated Covid appropriate behavior,’’ Hyderabad police on the condition of anonymity.
