Hyderabad Police on Wednesday registered a case against Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma for his alleged derogatory remarks on Congress leader and Wayanad Member of Parliament Rahul Gandhi.
Based on the complaint lodged by Malkajgiri MP and Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) president Anumula Revanth Reddy, the Jubilee Hills police sought legal advice and registered a case against Mr. Sarma under Sections 504 (Intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of the peace) and 505(2) (Statements creating or promoting enmity, hatred or ill-will between classes) of the Indian Penal Code, Inspector S. Rajasekhar Reddy told The Hindu.
In his complaint, Mr. Revanth Reddy accused the Assam Chief Minister of making an obscene speech against Rahul Gandhi at a public meeting in Uttarakhand deliberately and in a preplanned manner to garner political mileage.
