Telangana Government Orders Probe in Bandi Bhagirath POCSO Case
The Telangana government has issued fresh directions in the Bandi Bhagirath POCSO case, with Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy responding to the issue nearly three days after the matter surfaced publicly. The latest update has triggered renewed attention on the police investigation and the handling of the complaint registered at Pet Basheerabad Police Station.
According to the incident details, the Chief Minister directed Telangana DGP CV Anand to immediately begin an inquiry into the case registered against Bandi Bhagirath. The direction reportedly came after questions were raised over the delay in police action following the complaint.
Police Investigation Ordered in POCSO Case
The POCSO case was reportedly registered at Pet Basheerabad Police Station on May 8. During discussions with senior officials, the Chief Minister questioned why no immediate action had been taken despite the complaint already being received by the police.
Officials briefed the Chief Minister on the status of the case and the sequence of developments. The government has now instructed the police department to move forward with the investigation without further delay.
The case has become a major political talking point in Telangana, particularly after discussions emerged regarding the timing of possible action following Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Hyderabad visit.
DGP Explains Delay in Action
During the official review, DGP CV Anand reportedly informed the Chief Minister that a large section of the police force had been engaged in security arrangements related to the Prime Minister’s visit to Hyderabad.
The official statement from the police side indicated that deployment duties connected to the high-security visit had occupied personnel across several units. The explanation was given in response to questions raised by the Chief Minister regarding the delay in initiating action after the case was registered.
The government has now sought faster progress in the police investigation and asked officials to ensure that procedural steps are completed promptly.
Telangana Government Seeks Immediate Inquiry
The latest development has intensified political discussion around the Bandi Bhagirath POCSO case across Telangana. With the state government directly intervening, attention has now shifted to the next phase of the police investigation and whether further legal action will follow.
Officials have not yet released additional details regarding the complaint or the ongoing inquiry. However, the Telangana government’s intervention and the Chief Minister’s questions to senior police officials have placed the case under close public and political scrutiny.
The latest update in the Bandi Bhagirath POCSO case is expected to remain a key political and legal issue in Telangana in the coming days as authorities continue the investigation process.
