Accusing the police of diluting his complaint against Assam Chief Minister Hemanth Biswa Sarma for his derogatory remarks against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, Telangana Congress chief A. Revanth Reddy lodged a fresh complaint with sections relevant to outraging the modesty of women and creating enmity between different groups citing Supreme Court judgments.
Mr. Reddy said that the Telangana police diluted the complaint invoking irrelevant sections allegedly on the directions of Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao and lodged a fresh complaint with the Jubilee Hills police. He said though Sections 504 and 505 (2) of the IPC should have been invoked by the police, their intention was to dilute the FIR. Moreover, the offence was punishable under Sections 153A, 294 and 509 but they were not invoked.
