Telangana seeks Rs 11,700 crore loan from JICA for Hyderabad Metro Rail Phase-2, advancing infrastructure projects under CM Revanth Reddy.

Telangana CM Eyes Rs 11,700 Cr Loan for Metro Expansion

Telangana CM Revanth Reddy is requesting a substantial Rs 11,700 crore loan from JICA for Hyderabad Metro Phase-2, advancing urban infrastructure development. Focused on complying with India's foreign debt policies, Reddy highlights investor-friendly initiatives and comprehensive city updates.

Telangana CM Revanth Reddy has sought a Rs 11,700 crore loan from JICA for Hyderabad Metro Phase-2, fostering infrastructure growth.

Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy on Thursday sought about Rs 11,700 crore loan from Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) for Hyderabad Metro Rail phase-2 project, the government said.
According to an official release, the "TelanganaRising" delegation led by Revanth Reddy held positive discussions with the top management of JICA in Tokyo to explore the possibilities for financial support for several flagship projects, including the Metro Rail Phase-2, River Musi rejuvenation and others.
"The Telangana government is keen on JICA support for the 48 per cent loan component of the project, which is about Rs 11,693 crore. He (the CM) also explained that the Indian government's foreign debt funding norms were being followed strictly by the state government," it said.
The chief minister informed the JICA team that the Metro Rail phase-2 project proposal with an investment of Rs 24,269 crore as a joint venture project of the Central and state governments was already under active consideration.
Accompanied by senior officers of the Telangana government, Reddy met Senior Vice President of JICA Shohei Hara and other senior managers.
The CM gave a detailed overview of the investor-friendly policies of the Telangana government, the attractiveness of Hyderabad as a global investments destination and large-scale infrastructure projects being taken up in the city and its surroundings.
The chief minister urged JICA to consider funding the Musi rejuvenation project and the new radial roads as well.

CM Revanth Reddy of Telangana launches 'Young India' initiatives

Telangana CM A Revanth Reddy introduces 'Young India' educational initiatives, featuring skills and sports universities, and residential schools, aiming to empower youth.

Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy on Thursday stated that the Skills University, Sports University, and Integrated Residential Schools being established in the state&mdash;each named 'Young India'&mdash;collectively constitute his "brand".
'Young India' brand is being created in Telangana today with Mahatma Gandhi's inspiration, he said.
After inaugurating the Young India Police School here, he said the title 'Young India' was not created by him but by Mahatma Gandhi.
Gandhiji ran a journal named 'Young India' during the freedom movement, Reddy recalled, adding that it reflected "the voice of India." The first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, is hailed for his stellar contributions to the country's progress after Independence, while former PM Indira Gandhi is known for her pro-poor welfare measures with the slogan 'roti, kapda aur makaan' (food, clothing, and shelter), he said.
Reddy said he is often asked by political analysts and journalists why he has not been able to "create a brand of his own" despite being in power for the last 16 months.
He said former Chief Minister of undivided Andhra Pradesh and TDP founder N T Rama Rao is known for his iconic Rs 2-a-kg rice scheme, while incumbent Andhra CM N Chandrababu Naidu is credited with the growth of the IT sector in Hyderabad.
He also recalled the contributions of former Prime Minister P V Narasimha Rao, a son of the soil, in introducing economic reforms in the country.
Another former CM of undivided Andhra Pradesh, Y S Rajasekhara Reddy, is applauded for initiating irrigation projects, the CM said.
Taking a veiled dig at BRS president K Chandrasekhar Rao, he said some claim the recognition of having fought for Telangana statehood and its formation.
"Analysts and well-wishers ask me whether I would go unnoticed as a chief minister without any brand. I would like to tell analysts, critics, and the people of the state&mdash;Young India is my brand," Reddy said.
He said all the students of the Young India Skills University, set up in the state with Anand Mahindra of the Mahindra Group as its head, are assured of employment.
Big corporates are showing interest in the proposed Young India Sports University, he said.
Observing that the social welfare residential schools set up in the state earlier lacked even basic facilities, he said his government is establishing Young India Integrated Residential Schools in every Assembly constituency, with Rs 200 crore allocated for each school.
Talking about the reforms being initiated in school education, Reddy said the government is considering introducing preschool classes for poor children to provide quality education and ensure their continued primary education in government schools.
The government is also considering providing breakfast, lunch, and evening snacks to children attending such preschool classes, he added.

Seven Arrested for Gang Rape in Telangana

Authorities arrest seven in a reported gang rape at a Telangana temple. Minister D. Anasuya Seethakka calls for swift justice and support for victims, emphasizing the importance of safety and legal action against such crimes.

Seven suspects arrested in connection with a gang rape at a temple in Telangana's Nagarkurnool

Seven men arrested in Telangana for alleged gang rape at a temple. Victim's husband restrained during the crime. Minister Seethakka urges swift justice.

Seven persons were held for allegedly raping a woman in Nagarkurnool district of Telangana, police said on Tuesday.
The incident allegedly happened in Urkondapeta village on Saturday when the woman along with her husband went there for a temple darshan and stayed on the premises, they said.
When the woman went to attend nature's call, the accused forcibly took her to an isolated place near the temple and allegedly raped her in the bushes on the intervening night of Saturday and Sunday, even as they tied her husband to a tree when he went to her rescue, police had said.
After initiating an investigation into the case, police took seven persons into custody. The accused including an electrician, an auto-driver and two cooks are involved in extortion cases booked earlier, a police official said.
Taking a serious note of the incidents of sexual assault in Nagarkurnool district and also Hyderabad, state Women and Child Welfare Minister D Anasuya Seethakka spoke to senior police officials and women welfare department officials. She also enquired about the progress of investigation and the health conditon of the survivors.
She directed them to take measures to help the survivors and to ensure tough punishment to the culprits, a release from her office said.
She said the government has acted swiftly after the incidents came to light and arrested the accused and is also helping the survivors.

Amid Telangana's fiscal crisis, the Rs 200 crore beauty pageant budget sparks political uproar. Opposition criticizes financial mismanagement while calling for drought relief diversion.

Telangana's Fiscal Strife Amid Beauty Pageant Controversy

In Telangana, a heated political debate ensues over the allocation of Rs 200 crore for a beauty pageant against a backdrop of fiscal challenges, with opposition pressing for reassessment in financial priorities.

Telangana politics heats up over financial decisions amid miss world outcry

Telangana faces heat over financial priorities, with Rs 200 crore for beauty pageant criticized amid fiscal woes.

Telangana's political landscape has become a battleground as the opposition Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) seizes on Chief Minister Revanth Reddy's candid admissions regarding the state's financial woes.
The government is grappling with a staggering Rs 71,000 crore revenue shortfall, struggling to meet salary obligations, and has declared an inability to fund capital expenditures. Despite this, it plans to allocate a controversial Rs 200 crore for hosting a beauty pageant, drawing sharp criticism from the opposition.
The announcement of the budget prompted vociferous protests from opposition lawmakers who brandished dried crops in the Assembly to underscore claims of a "Congress-made drought."
They criticized the expenditure on the upcoming 72nd Miss World event and demanded that funds be redirected to provide Rs 25,000 per acre to farmers affected by drought.
BRS leader KT Rama Rao (KTR) vehemently condemned the Congress for what he termed as "perverse logic" in their financial decisions. "Spending Rs 46 crore on a Formula-E race in Hyderabad was deemed improper and led to legal action. Yet, Rs 200 crore for a beauty contest from public funds is justified? Can Rahul Gandhi explain this logic?" KTR tweeted last week.
KTR further criticized the Congress, questioning whether Telangana is progressing or regressing, noting the Chief Minister&rsquo;s sudden acknowledgment of the state's economic downturn and significant deficit.
While KTR's comments were sharp, BRS spokesperson Krishank offered a nuanced position, highlighting the Congress' "double standards and hypocrisy," referencing the Formula-E corruption accusations against KTR himself.
The BRS has been vocally critical of the Congress's fiscal management and perceived negligence in state development under Reddy's leadership.
KTR accused Congress of depleting state resources through unrealistic pre-election promises and damaging the economy with shortsighted policies.
Chief Minister Reddy retaliated, accusing his predecessor K Chandrasekhar Rao of leaving the state in financial ruin, burdened with a public debt necessitating Rs 1.53 lakh crore in monthly interest payments.
"If this amount had been available, it would have enabled housing for all and farm loan waivers for an additional 70 lakh people," he stated.
Deputy Chief Minister and Finance Minister Bhatti Vikramarka assured that efforts are underway to address these financial challenges, highlighting that Rs 10,000 crore in dues had already been cleared.
In an interesting turn, this year marks India's second consecutive hosting of the Miss World pageant; the 2024 edition in Mumbai crowned Czech Republic&rsquo;s Krystyna Pyszkova as the winner.
This juxtaposition of fiscal austerity and extravagant expenditure underscores the complex political and economic discourse in Telangana.

The arrest of Telangana journalists for content about CM Reddy has incited opposition backlash and raised press freedom concerns.

Telangana Journalists' Arrest Ignites Press Freedom Debate

The arrest of journalists in Telangana over content on CM Reddy spurs backlash from opposition, questioning press freedom under Congress.

Telangana journalists arrested amid controversy involving CM

Journalists in Telangana face arrest over content about CM Reddy, sparking political backlash over press freedom concerns.

Two Telangana journalists, Pogadadanda Revathi, the Managing Director of Pulse News, and reporter Thanvi Yadav, were arrested on Wednesday by the Cyber Crime division of Hyderabad Police.
Their arrests follow accusations of disseminating allegedly offensive content about Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy.
A third individual, identified as the user behind the X account 'NippuKodi,' has also been detained in connection with the case.
The arrests stem from a complaint filed by the Congress' state social media unit chief.
The charges against them include publishing obscene material, organized crime, and criminal conspiracy, alongside spreading rumors intended to incite hatred and provoke disorder.
Controversy centers on a video posted on the 'NippuKodi' X account, featuring an interview by a Pulse News reporter in which the interviewee reportedly makes "derogatory" and "abusive" statements about the Chief Minister.
The complaint argues this constitutes a "highly provocative" act with the potential to incite violence, labeling the post as a "deliberate attempt by Pulse TV to defame and spread propaganda."
The arrests have sparked a vehement backlash from the opposition BRS, which was in power before the Congress' unexpected win in the 2023 elections.
KT Rama Rao of the BRS criticized the Congress for displaying "intolerance of criticism" and fostering an "extreme level of intolerance."
Speaking to NDTV, Rao remarked, "It feels like a state of Emergency has returned in Telangana."
In a detailed X post, Rao condemned the circumstances of Ms. Revathi's arrest, purportedly involving a police raid on her home at 5 am, as indicative of an "Emergency-style rule" under Congress.
He termed Ms. Yadav's arrest "atrocious" and highlighted concerns over press freedom in Telangana.
"The arrest of journalists for sharing a video featuring a farmer discussing his hardships under the Congress government underscores this government's repressive regime. Is this the constitutional rule Rahul Gandhi speaks of?" Rao questioned on X.
Interestingly, Ms. Revathi faced similar arrest circumstances during BRS tenure.
Subsequently, Rao took a swipe at Rahul Gandhi in another post, alluding sarcastically to the Congress leader's campaign habit of carrying a red-bound Constitution copy.
In response, BJP's Shehzad Poonawalla criticized the Congress for arresting a senior journalist simply for "highlighting the struggles and frustrations of Telangana's farmers."

The Telangana Congress is organizing an all-party meeting to oppose upcoming delimitation changes, seen as a threat to political representation in southern states.

Telangana's Strategy Against Delimitation Threat

Telangana Congress plans all-party meet on delimitation concerns in South

The Telangana Congress is organizing an all-party meeting to oppose upcoming delimitation changes, seen as a threat to political representation in southern states.

The Congress government in Telangana is preparing to organize an all-party meeting to address the issue of delimitation, a move that Minister for Information and Public Relations Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy says aims to rally support against population-based delimitation, which is viewed as potentially harmful to southern states.
Although the date for the meeting has not been confirmed, this initiative follows a similar meeting in Tamil Nadu that resulted in a resolution to delay delimitation for 30 years.
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin recently communicated with leaders from several states, including Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Karnataka, West Bengal, Odisha, and Punjab, expressing concern that delimitation based on the upcoming census could significantly diminish political representation for states with controlled population growth.
Stalin urged these states to appoint representatives to a Joint Action Committee (JAC) established during Tamil Nadu&rsquo;s all-party meeting.
Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy accused the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance of using the delimitation exercise to disadvantage the southern regions. Southern states fear losing parliamentary seats if the process adheres to the new census data.
The Cabinet decided on holding the all-party meeting during a Thursday night meeting, with invitations extended to all parties, including opposition BJP and BRS.
The Telangana government has yet to decide on joining Tamil Nadu&rsquo;s JAC or pursuing an independent approach against delimitation.
A Congress leader noted that Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy would consult with party colleagues before any decision, with meetings likely to coincide with the upcoming Assembly session on March 12. The primary concern is opposing delimitation, with Revanth Reddy previously labeling the process a "conspiracy against the southern states" and accusing the BJP of trying to weaken them politically.

Praveen Kumar Gampa, a Telangana student in Wisconsin, was shot dead in a suspected robbery. This tragic loss rekindles safety concerns for international students.

Telangana Student Praveen Kumar Shot in Wisconsin

Praveen Kumar Gampa, a Telangana student in Wisconsin, was shot dead in a suspected robbery. This tragic loss rekindles safety concerns for international students.

A 27-year-old student from Telangana, Praveen Kumar Gampa, was tragically shot dead on Wednesday in Wisconsin, USA, in what is suspected to be a robbery attempt.
The incident took place near Gampa&rsquo;s residence, leaving his family in shock and searching for answers.
The family&rsquo;s alarm was first triggered when a stranger answered Praveen's call on WhatsApp, which his father, Raghavulu, missed initially. Upon returning the call, Raghavulu was puzzled to hear from an unknown individual claiming to have found his son&rsquo;s phone.
This interaction deepened their fears, which were later confirmed by Praveen's friends and U.S. authorities.
Although details remain sparse, some reports from friends indicate that Praveen's body was discovered with bullet wounds, and it is believed the shooting might have occurred at the store where he was working part-time.
His cousin, Arun, relayed this information to the Press Trust of India (PTI), but the exact circumstances of the tragic incident are still unclear to the family.
The Consulate General of India in Chicago has reached out to the grieving family, offering condolences and support. "We are saddened by the untimely death of Praveen Kumar Gampa, a Post-graduate student at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. The Consulate is in contact with Praveen's family and the University, helping them with all possible support. Our heartfelt condolences and prayers are with his family and friends of the departed," the Consulate expressed in a post on X (formerly Twitter).
Praveen had moved to the United States earlier in 2023 to pursue a Master&rsquo;s degree in data science at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. His ambition and dreams were cut short by this tragic event.
This incident echoes a similar tragedy from December, when another student from Telangana, 22-year-old Sai Teja, was shot and killed by assailants during a robbery at a gas station in Chicago. These tragic events have raised concerns about the safety of international students overseas.

Rescue teams have reached the end of the collapsed SLBC tunnel but face challenges due to debris. Efforts by Indian Army, NDRF, and SDRF continue, with oxygen being pumped in, though no contact has been established with the trapped workers.

Telangana tunnel accident: Rescuers managed to reach accident location, but unable to locate trapped

Rescue teams have reached the end of the collapsed SLBC tunnel but face challenges due to debris. Efforts by Indian Army, NDRF, and SDRF continue, with oxygen being pumped in, though no contact has been established with the trapped workers.

In a significant development, a team of experts engaged in rescuing the eight persons who have remained trapped for the past five days in the partially collapsed SLBC tunnel were able to reach the end of the tunnel and return, a senior police official said on Wednesday.
The teams so far were able to reach up to 50 meters before the end of the tunnel only due to muck and debris.
&ldquo;A 20 member team comprising NDRF, SDRF and Rat Miners were able to reach the last points of the (tunnel). But there was a lot of debris. They are working out how to go about,&rdquo; Nagarkurnool Superintendent of Police Vaibhav Gaikwad told PTI.
&ldquo;One day before they were able to reach up to 40 meters (before the end of the tunnel). Yesterday they reached (crossed) that 40 meters also,&rdquo; the official further said.
Gaikwad further said the team searched at the location but could not find anything last night.
Replying to a query, he said the Geological Survey of India team which has collected samples is yet to submit its reports on soil strength and others.
Top experts from the Indian Army, Navy, NDRF, GSI and other agencies who are making relentless efforts to find a breakthrough in the collapsed SLBC tunnel rescue work amidst threat to the lives of rescuers' with the continuous flow of silt and water, are set to continue their operations on Wednesday.
Addressing media persons, Irrigation Minister Uttam Kumar Reddy on Tuesday cited experts, who described this as the most complex and difficult tunnel rescue operation in the world or at least in India as there is only one entry or exit to the SLBC tunnel.
There was no contact with the trapped persons though oxygen is being pumped into the tunnel continuously, the minister had said.
Eight personnel working on the Srisailam Left Bank Canal (SLBC) tunnel project were trapped after a portion of the tunnel collapsed on February 22.

Rajalingamurthy's Murder Sparks Political Controversy

The killing of N Rajalingamurthy, amid his corruption allegations against KCR, ignites political controversy in Telangana. Accusations against BRS leaders surface, despite them denying involvement, stirring debates on potential political motives. The investigation continues.

Telangana political tension rises after Rajalingamurthy's murder

The killing of N Rajalingamurthy, amid his corruption allegations against KCR, ignites political controversy in Telangana.&nbsp;

The murder of a man who had filed complaint against former Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao and others alleging corruption in the Kaleshwaram irrigation project, kicked up a political slugfest on Thursday with his family members and the ruling Congress in Telangana pointing fingers at the BRS over the killing.
However, the BRS dismissed the allegations.
N Rajalingamurthy (50) was stabbed to death over some land disputes by unidentified persons when he was going on a bike in Jayashankar Bhupalpally town by late evening on Wednesday, police said.
Addressing a press conference on Thursday, Telangana Roads and Buildings Minister Komatireddy Venkat Reddy accused BRS of encouraging murder politics during its 10 years regime.
Condemning the murder of N Rajalingamurthy, the minister claimed the victim was murdered as he questioned BRS "loot" in Kaleshwaram project.
It is Rajalingamurthy's family members and his wife, who are saying that BRS leaders including the former MLA Gandra Venkataramana Reddy are behind the murder, he claimed.
Reacting to Venkat Reddy's accusations, Venkataramana Reddy said the Congress party is leveling charges against him without knowing the facts.
He further said it was unfortunate that the ruling party is trying to link the murder with BRS party, KCR and MLA T Harish Rao.
Venkataramana Reddy further said as per the FIR the murder was due to local land dispute.
He alleged that the wife of the man who died has been leveling allegations on him under pressure from some people. The BRS leader said he was ready for probe by any agency including CBI.
The accused who came on two bikes hit on Rajalingamurthy's head with an iron rod and later stabbed him to death, police said.
Following the incident, the family members of the man who died had also held a protest late on Wednesday night.
Rajalingamurthy's wife, a former councilor of Bhupalpally Municipality, in a complaint to police said the accused persons killed her husband over a land dispute and based on the complaint, a case was registered against five persons.
However, later the family members of the the man who died and his wife alleged that some leaders associated with the BRS were responsible for Rajalingamurthy's death.
In view of the allegations by the family members of the man who died, a senior police official on Thursday told PTI that they are probing the case from all angles.
Asked if they suspect political angle behind the murder, the official said based on investigation so far those who are suspected to have committed the murder are related to the land dispute issue, however, they are also verifying the allegations made by the family members.
"We are investigating the case. We have got few clues. We are probing all angles," the official said.
Rajalingamurthy had earlier filed a private complaint in October 2023 in a court seeking registration of an FIR against BRS President Chandrasekhar Rao, also known as KCR and others after sinking of some piers of the Medigadda barrage, part of Kaleshwaram irrigation project, alleging irregularities in the construction of the project.
KCR, and his nephew and former minister T Harish Rao subsequently approached the Telangana High Court, which in December last year suspended an order passed by the principal district sessions judge in Jayashankar Bhupalpally allowing a petition against them.

Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy met with Tollywood actors and filmmakers to assure them of government support while stressing the importance of law and order.

Telangana CM Assures Tollywood Support Amid Allu Arjun Controversy

The meeting followed a tragic incident on December 4 during the premiere of Pushpa 2: The Rule at Sandhya Theatre, where a large crowd gathered to see Allu Arjun.

Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy has reassured Tollywood actors and filmmakers that his government stands firmly behind the Telugu film industry, emphasizing that law and order will not be compromised. This statement came after tensions arose between the state government and the film industry following the arrest of actor Allu Arjun, star of Pushpa 2.
In a meeting held on Thursday, Reddy addressed the concerns of Tollywood figures and clarified the government's stance. He stressed that while the film industry is valued, celebrities must take responsibility for their actions and manage their fanbases effectively to avoid such incidents in the future. The meeting, which took place at the Telangana State Police Command and Control Centre in Banjara Hills, saw the attendance of several prominent actors and filmmakers, including Nagarjuna, Varun Tej, Sai Dharam Tej, Kalyan Ram, and Venkatesh. Directors like Koratala Siva, Anil Ravipudi, and K Raghavendra Rao, along with producers such as Suresh Babu and Allu Aravind, were also present.
The meeting followed a tragic incident on December 4 during the premiere of Pushpa 2: The Rule at Sandhya Theatre, where a large crowd gathered to see Allu Arjun. Chaos ensued when the actor waved to his fans from the sunroof of his car, leading to the death of a 35-year-old woman and injuries to her young child.
While some Congress leaders criticized Allu Arjun for his actions, claiming the incident was purely accidental, CM Revanth Reddy had earlier accused the actor of violating safety protocols by organizing a &ldquo;roadshow&rdquo; in front of the theatre. Allu Arjun, however, refuted the accusations, stating that it was not a roadshow but a casual greeting to his fans.
The controversy intensified when Allu Arjun was arrested by Hyderabad Police on December 13 in connection with the incident. He was later granted interim bail by the Telangana High Court the following day. Despite the arrest, the actor continued to deny any wrongdoing, calling the allegations an attempt at character assassination.
The political fallout of the incident continues, with CM Reddy asserting that the police had denied permission for such an event due to safety concerns, a claim which Allu Arjun strongly disputed.

With BJP eyeing gains in south India to win 400 seats in Lok Sabha, who will Telangana vote for? editorji's Vikram Chandra caught up with BRS leader and former minister of the state, KT Rama Rao on The India Story: Road to 2024 this week. 

'Either in his pocket or in jail', KTR targets PM Modi ahead of May 13 Lok Sabha polls| The India Story

With BJP eyeing gains in south India to win 400 seats in Lok Sabha, who will Telangana vote for? editorji's Vikram Chandra caught up with BRS leader and former minister of the state, KT Rama Rao on The India Story: Road to 2024 this week.&nbsp;

Fresh from assembly election late last year, which saw Telangana's founding party, Bharat Rashtra Samiti dethroned, the state is now geared up to vote for 17 Lok Sabha seats on May 13.
With Congress hoping to replicate its assembly election performance and BJP aiming to increase its tally of 4 seats from 2019, BRS is leaving no stone unturned to stop both national parties from expanding their base in the state.
On the campaign trail this week, editorji's Vikram Chandra caught up with BRS leader and former minister, KT Rama Rao on where does his party stand in the electoral fight where two national parties are challenging each other.
In a scathing attack on Congress and BJP, KTR said both parties have failed to represent aspirations of the people of Telangana at the Centre. Targetting the PM over his sister K Kavitha's arrest in the alleged liquor policy scam, KTR said, 'leaders who oppose the Prime Minister face jail term'.&nbsp;

Telangana top cop vows further probe into Rohith Vemula death

The Telangana police in its closure report have claimed Vemula was not a Dalit and died by suicide in 2016 as he feared that his "real caste" would be discovered.

After the Telangana police filed a closure report into the death of PhD scholar Rohith Vemula, Director General of Police Ravi Gupta said that further investigations will be conducted.&nbsp;
The DGP said that that Vemula's family have expressed doubts over the manner in which the probe was carried out.&nbsp;

A petition will be filed in the court concerned requesting the Hon'ble Magistrate to permit further investigation into the case," the DGP's statement said.
The Telangana police in its closure report have claimed Vemula was not a Dalit and died by suicide in 2016 as he feared that his "real caste" would be discovered.
In a statement on Friday, DGP Ravi Gupta said the final report in the case was prepared in 2018 and that it was officially submitted in the jurisdictional court on March 21, 2024.

Did BJP's Madhavi Latha fire arrow at mosque? Row erupts over video

Latha was seen dressed in saffron and pretending to draw an arrow from an imaginary quiver on her back and firing it.

A BJP Lok Sabha candidate from Telangana has been heavily criticised after a video of her from an election rally, pretending to draw and fire an arrow near a mosque, surfaced.
Madhavai Latha is the party's candidate from the Hyderabad seat, which has been held by AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi since 2004 and his father, Sultan Salahuddin Owaisi, since 1989.&nbsp;
In the purported video, Latha was seen standing on a moving vehicle, dressed in saffron attire at a rally and surrounded by a pool of people. She was seen wearing garlands and pretending to draw an arrow from an imaginary quiver on her back and firing the weapon. The video further shows a mosque in the direction she was firing the arrow in.&nbsp;
Slamming the video, Owaisi called the actiion of Latha at a Ram Navami rally "provocative".&nbsp;
"The people of Hyderabad have seen the BJP's intentions. They will not accept vulgar and provocative actions by the BJP and RSS (the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, seen as the ruling party's ideological mentor)," he said. &nbsp;
"Is this the 'Viksit Bharat' that BJP is talking about?" he further added.&nbsp;
After the heavy criticism, the BJP leader shared a post on X giving a clarification about the video.&nbsp;

She also spoke to news agency PTI, claiming a "conspiracy against us (the BJP)... because we work well with both Hindu and Muslim brothers" and demanded "where did the mosque come from?"
"Yesterday, on the occasion of Ram Navami, I was gesturing shooting an (imaginary) arrow towards the sky. I released that arrow towards a building, that's it. Where did the mosque come from?" she said.&nbsp;

Mob vandalises Telangana school after principal questions students wearing religious attire 

A video of the incident going viral showed saffron-clad men shouting vandalising the school's properties.

A school in Telangana was attacked by a mob after the principal allegedly questioned some students wearing saffron-coloured religious attire on the campus.
Indian Express, quoting police, reported that the students were observing &lsquo;Hanuman deeksha&rsquo;, a penance for 41 days.
The incident took place on April 16 at St Mother Teresa English Medium School in Kannepalli village.
A video of the incident that is going viral on social media showed saffron-clad men shouting Jai Shri slogans and vandalising the school properties.
Meanwhile, police filed two FIRs in the incident. Based on students' parent's complaints, the police filed a case against two school staff members, including the principal, for hurting religious sentiments and promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion.
In the other complaint by the school administration, four suspects and others were named for trespassing into the school, wrongfully restraining the school correspondent, physically assaulting him, and damaging windows of the classrooms. They said a statue of Mother Teresa and gates were damaged and claimed a loss of property worth Rs 30,000.&nbsp;
&ldquo;The exams were going on. After the exam, the principal told the students to come in uniform and that if they wanted to wear saffron clothes, they had to get permission. That triggered the parents. Previously also there were some complaints against the principal and it was there in the parents&rsquo; mind. It was a Tuesday and there was a temple nearby and all this escalated and led to vandalism,&rdquo; Mancherial Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Ashok Kumar told Indian Express.

Ex-intel bureau chief named prime accused in Telangana phone tapping case 

Telangana's former intelligence bureau chief T Prabhakar Rao has been named the prime accused in connection with a phone tapping case.

The Hyderabad police have issued a lookout notice against former Telangana intelligence bureau chief T Prabhakar Rao as he has been named the prime accused in connection with a phone tapping case that has rocked Telangana.
Rao, who is believed to be in the United States, is alleged to have been responsible for tapping the phones of the opposition leaders during the erstwhile BRS government led by K Chandrashekar Rao.
Police have already arrested two additional superintendents of police in connection with the case and were sent to judicial custody on Sunday.
Apart from, Rao and lookout notices have also been issued against then deputy commissioner of police of Commissioner's Task Force (a wing of Hyderabad Police) P Radhakrishna and a senior executive of a Telugu TV channel.
The lookout circular was issued against them as they were not available for investigation in the case and were allegedly not cooperating, They are suspected to have gone abroad, a senior official told PTI news agency on Sunday.
The two additional superintendents of police were accused of colluding with suspended DSP of the SIB D Praneeth Rao, who was earlier arrested by Hyderabad police for allegedly erasing the intelligence information from various electronic gadgets as well as for alleged phone tapping during the previous BRS government.
"During questioning, the two police officials confessed to their involvement in the reported crimes, including conspiracy to monitor private persons illegally by developing their profiles, abusing their official positions; to cause disappearance of evidence by destroying public property to conceal their involvement in collusion with the already arrested D Praneeth Kumar alias Praneeth Rao, DSP (under suspension), and some other persons," the release said.
Further investigation is under progress, they said.
On March 13, Praneeth Rao, who is accused of developing profiles of unknown persons and monitoring them clandestinely, without authorisation and illegally, besides destroying certain computer systems and official data, was arrested, police earlier said.
Praneeth Rao was recently suspended by the Telangana government. He was a DSP during the previous BRS dispensation and was subsequently working in the office of the Director General of Police (DGP). He was earlier accused of tapping phones of opposition party leaders.
Based on a complaint filed by an additional superintendent of police of the SIB on March 10, a case was registered against Praneeth Rao and others at Panjagutta police station here on charges of criminal breach of trust by a public servant, causing disappearance of evidence, and criminal conspiracy and other sections of IPC, PDPP Act and IT Act-2000.
The case was registered against them for allegedly destroying certain computer systems and official data of the SIB, including those obtained by him clandestinely and illegally in collusion with others with an intention to make wrongful gain, the police had said.
They were also accused of developing profiles of some persons and monitoring them, causing disappearance of physical and electronic records of the SIB, and copying intelligence information into personal drives, police said.

Telangana CM calls PM Modi 'big brother', seeks help for Congress-ruled state's development

Telangana chief minister Revanth Reddy referred to Prime Minister Narendra Modi as elder brother and sought his help in the state's development.

Noting that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is like an "elder brother" to the states, Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy on Monday made his intentions clear that he would not like to confront the Centre, but would maintain cordial relations.
Addressing a gathering on the occasion of the PM launching or laying the foundation for Rs 56,000 crore worth of projects, Reddy sought Modi's cooperation to develop Telangana on the lines of Gujarat.
Reddy said Telangana with capital Hyderabad, the fifth largest city in the country, would like to contribute to PM Modi's ambitious goal of making India a USD 5 trillion economy.
After a long time, a Chief Minister of Telangana received PM Modi and shared the dais with him during an official event.
BRS supremo and former CM K Chandrasekhar Rao had, on several occasions, skipped the PM's official visits to the state in the past.
"Narendra Modi ji, according to us, Prime Minister means like our elder brother. If there is support from the elder brother, only then can chief ministers take forward development works in their respective states," he said.
"That is why my request is, if Telangana has to be developed on the lines of Gujarat, your support is essential here," the Congress chief minister said.
Reddy said the state government will extend necessary operation and give necessary clearances to NTPC for completing the 4,000 MW power plant of which only 1,600 MW became operational.
He further said as per the Andhra Pradesh State Reorganisation Act, the Centre has to set up a 4,000 MW power plant in Telangana. However, due to the acts of the previous BRS government, only 1,600 MW was completed in the last 10 years.
He said the people will ultimately lose when there is friction between the Centre and the states. Politics should be limited to elections only and after the polls the elected leaders should thrive for the development of the state with the help of the Centre.
He said PM Modi responded positively when he met him seeking clearances for some issues.
Reddy sought Modi's cooperation to expand the semiconductor industry in the state besides Musi River development.&nbsp;
