Hyderabad Police Commissioner issues notice to BRS leader over allegation of cases against him
Hyderabad (PTI): Hyderabad Police Commissioner V C Sajjanar has issued a notice to BRS leader and former IPS officer R S Praveen Kumar over his claim that seven criminal cases had been registered against him (commissioner).
Referring to SIT's questioning of BRS Working President K T Rama Rao in the alleged phone-tapping case, Praveen Kumar claimed that cases were registered against Sajjanar, who is heading the SIT, and other police officers in Andhra Pradesh in 2015.
The cases were linked to the cash-for-vote case involving Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, who was then a TDP MLA.
In the notice issued on Friday, Sajjanar asked Praveen Kumar to furnish complete details of the alleged cases against him.
"BRS leader Sri R S Praveen Kumar, IPS (Retd), is hereby called upon to furnish complete and specific details of the alleged seven (07) criminal cases purportedly registered against the SIT Chief (myself) within two (02) days from the date of receipt of this notice," Sajjanar said in a post on X late on Friday.
If Praveen Kumar fails to comply with the demand within the stipulated time, appropriate civil and criminal proceedings shall be initiated against him, he said in the notice.

Cristiano Ronaldo scores his 100th Saudi Pro League goal
Riyadh (AP): Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 100th Saudi Pro League goal as Al-Nassr beat Al-Shabab 4-2 to move five points clear at the top of the table.
The 41-year-old forward converted a Sadio Mané cross at the near post with 15 minutes remaining to record the 971st goal of his career on Thursday. It was also his 26th league goal of the season.
“Ronaldo is always dangerous going forward and we saw that again today,” Al-Nassr coach Jorge Jesus said.
João Félix, signed from Chelsea in July, scored three goals for the league leaders.
The win took Al-Nassr to 82 points from 32 games, five ahead of Al-Hilal, which has three matches, one more than Nassr, left to play. Al-Hilal meets Al-Kholood on Friday and faces Nassr on Tuesday in what could be a title decider against its Riyadh rival.
“Now we have a derby match against our rival, which is a difficult encounter,” Jesus said.
“We are fully aware of its importance, and we are dealing with it with complete focus as we know that small details could decide the result.”
Ronaldo, a five-time Ballon d'Or winner, has yet to secure a major trophy in Saudi Arabia since signing with Al-Nassr in December 2022.
