Hyderabad police have registered a case against YSR Telangana Party (YSRTP) leader Y S Sharmila for her remarks against Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao in the Telangana State Public Service Commission (TSPSC) paper leak case.

The Banjara Hills police station registered the case against Sharmila, who is the sister of Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy, on a complaint by Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leader Narendra Yadav.

In his complaint, Narendra claimed that Sharmila had blamed the Chief Minister and BRS for the TSPSC exam question paper leaks during a press conference and on social media. The complainant also stated that Sharmila dubbed BRS as "Bandicoot Rashtra Samithi".

Sharmila has been booked under Indian Penal Code (IPC) Sections 504 (intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of peace) and 505 (2) (statements creating or promoting enmity, hatred, or ill-will between classes).

On Wednesday, Sharmila released an affidavit on behalf of CM KCR, "owning the failure of the government", apologising to candidates, and ensuring proper conduct of the TSPSC re-examination. Sharmila asked KCR to sign the affidavit.

KCR Garu @TelanganaCMO, Telangana is waiting for your signatures on this affidavit. If your Govt's intention is to conduct the TSPSC exam in a fair and transparent manner then have the courage to sign and give confidence to the youth of Telangana that their future will not be… pic.twitter.com/eRPZa4edUK

The YSRTP leader has been blaming the BRS government for the leakage of question papers for various exams, which came to light last month and resulted in the cancellation of at least four exams, including Group I Prelims.

Two TSPSC employees had allegedly stolen question papers from a computer in a confidential section and sold them to candidates appearing in the exam.
