ఎమ్మెల్యేల కొనుగోలు కేసు దర్యాప్తు ప్రాథమిక విచారణ దశలో ఉన్నందున టిఆర్ఎస్ పార్టీ నాయకులు మీడియా ముందు ఎలాంటి వాఖ్యానాలు చేయవద్దని విజ్జప్తి

అడ్డంగా దొరికిన దొంగలు నోటికొచ్చినట్టు మొరుగుతూనే వుంటారు. వీటిని పార్టీ శ్రేణులు ఏమాత్రం పట్టించుకోవాల్సిన అవసరం
లేదు

On Thursday, Telangana BJP general secretary Parminder Reddy approached the High Court in connection with an alleged poaching attempt of four TRS legislators and sought the case to be transferred to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).

The petition seeks that a special investigation team be formed to conduct an enquiry into the case, registered at Moniabad Police Station, so that the probe is conducted in a free and fair manner and to safeguard the interest of justice.

According to reports, three men were booked by the Cyberabad police after they were found at a farmhouse in Aziz Nagar near Hyderabad while allegedly trying to entice four Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) legislators with promises of large sums of money, prestigious jobs, and contracts. The arrests were made on Wednesday.

Based on a complaint of TRS MLA Pilot Rohit Reddy, police registered an FIR against Nanda Kumar of Hyderabad, Ramachandra Bharati alias Satish Sharma of Delhi, and Simhayaji Swamy of Tirupati.
