Telangana MLA Raja Singh booked for remarks on Prophet
Hyderabad (PTI): A case was registered against Goshamahal MLA T Raja Singh for allegedly making defamatory remarks about Prophet Mohammed at a recent meeting in Madhya Pradesh, police said here on Sunday.
A group of people lodged a complaint at Shalibanda Police Station on Saturday after a video of the legislator making the "remarks" was circulated on some social media platforms.
Based on the complaint, a case was registered under relevant sections of BNS and IT Act against Singh, a police official said.
Singh, the MLA from Goshamahal in Hyderabad, is known for his strong views in support of Hindutva.
Earlier, he was arrested over his alleged remarks against Islam and Prophet Mohammed in August 2022 and he later secured bail.
Singh was elected as BJP MLA and he resigned from the primary membership of the saffron party earlier this year.

KKR defeat LSG via Super Over
Lucknow (PTI): Kolkata Knight Riders edged Lucknow Super Giants via Super Overs in a battle between two bottom-placed teams in the IPL, here on Sunday.
Chasing a modest 156, LSG suffered a batting collapse and managed to tie the contest and take it to Super Over with No. 9 Mohammed Shami striking a last-ball six against a wayward Kartik Tyagi, who leaked 16 runs in the final over.
But Sunil Narine bowled a stunning Super Over conceding just one run and taking two wickets to give KKR an easy target.
Rinku Singh then finished the chase with a boundary off first ball from Prince Yadav.
Earlier the KKR were in deep trouble with 93/7 in 15 overs but Rinku smashed a sensational 83 not out from 51 balls including four sixes in a row in the final over to lift them to 155/7.
Cameron Green (34) was the only other batter to reach double-digit scores as KKR suffered a familiar batting meltdown with Mohsin taking his maiden fifer.
In reply, LSG continued their dismal show with the bat to succumb to their fifth loss in a row.
Brief Scores:
Kolkata Knight Riders 155/7; 20 overs (Rinku Singh 83 not out, Cameron Green 34; Mohsin Khan 5/23). Lucknow Super Giants 155/8; 20 overs (Rishabh Pant 42). KKR won via Super Over.
