Hyderabad police book BJP MLA Raja Singh for his ‘bulldozer’ remarks

Goshamahal’s BJP legislator Thakur Raja Singh was booked by Mangalhat police of Hyderabad for allegedly threatening the voters of Uttar Pradesh with his ‘bulldozer’ remarks. 

As Mr. Singh did not respond to the show cause notice issued by the Election Commission of India, it directed the Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) of Telangana to lodge a complaint against the Saffron party leader under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code and Representation of the People Act. 

Following EC’s directions, in-charge CEO Dr. Buddhaprakash Jyothi gave a complaint to the Director General of Police, who in-turn referred it to Mangalhat police. Based on the complaint, Mangalhat police registered a case under Sections 505-II, 171-C r/w 171-F of the IPC and 123 and 125 of RP Act, Deputy Commissioner of Police (West zone) D. Joel Davis told The Hindu.
