Suspended BJP MLA T Raja Singh has yet again been booked by Hyderabad police for allegedly making a hate speech during the Sri Ram Navami Shobha Yatra. He has been charged under IPC sections 153-A (promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion) and 506 (Criminal intimidation).
Taking a suo-moto action against the BJP leader, J Veera Babu, sub-inspector of Afzalgunj police station had filed a complaint with the police in which he stated that on March 30, in view of Sri Rama Navami Shoba Yatra, he along with other staff were deputed for bandobast duty at Siddiamber Bazaar.
Meanwhile, Shoba Yatra reached the Siddiamber Bazaar area and Raja Singh allegedly
delivered an inflammatory speech in Hindi.
