Former Minister Dr P Shankar Rao on Thursday requested the Andhra Pradesh High Court to take action against Director General of Police V Dinesh Reddy and other police officials for contempt of court.
In a letter written to Chief Justice of High Court, Dr Shankar Rao said that the police officials violated an earlier order that restricted the entry of police officials into the Osmania University campus without the permission of university's vice-chancellor. He alleged that the police officials have violated the court orders several times during the Telangana March. Therefore, he requested that the High Court take action against the DGP, City Police Commissioner Anurag Sharma and other officials concerned for the contempt of court.
Addressing a press conference in the assembly premises, Dr Shankar Rao also asked the Congress MPs from Telangana region to move a privilege motion against Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar for their arrest during the Telangana March. He said that the Chief Minister insulted the elected representatives of Telangana region by restricting their entry into his camp office. He alleged that the MPs were stopped at a distance of about a half a kilometre from the CM's camp office.
