The Supreme Court on Monday gave some relief to YSR Congress rebel MP, K Raghurama Krishnam Raju in a case filed against him in the Gachibowli police station in Hyderabad. The court directed the Gachibowli police not to proceed further in the case till further orders.

The Gachibowli police have registered a case against Raghurama Krishnam Raju, his son and two CRPF personnel on a complaint given by an AP CID constable. The constable told the police that the MP’s personnel have taken him to their home by force and beat him up when he was on vigil during the visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

The constable said that as he belonged to the CID, he was posted in the area where Raghurama Krishnam Raju also lives. His job was to keep an eye on the movements of the people in the VIP areas, he told the police. However, some people belonging to the MP have taken him in their car by force and beat him up accusing him of spying on their house.

The constable also told the Gachibowli police that the MP’s personnel have taken his photo identification card by force. The CRPF had already suspended the two persons involved in this incident.

The MP said that the constable without disclosing his identity was moving near his house suspiciously and as an MP with Central security he had questioned him. His security personnel too have questioned the person as he did not reveal his identity. It was only after he was produced to the Gachibowli police, the constable had revealed his identity, the MP said.

In this background, the Supreme Court bench consisting of Justice Abdul Nazeer and Justice J K Maheswri directed the Gachibowli police not to act on the FIR filed against the MP and his son till further orders.
