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.

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.

Acting on specific inputs, an ANC team conducted a raid in Santacruz (East) and intercepted a man. During a search, the team recovered 508 grams of high-grade heroin from his possession, an official said.
The seized contraband, a highly addictive, opioid drug derived from morphine, is estimated to be worth Rs 2.54 crore in the international market, he informed.
Following the seizure, a case was registered against the man under relevant sections of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, 1985, and he was formally placed under arrest in the early hours of Friday.
