Hyderabad (PTI): Union Minister Bandi Sanjay Kumar’s son, Bageerath, was arrested on Saturday night in a POCSO case registered against him.

“The accused has been arrested by police,” a senior police official told PTI.

However, Bandi Sanjay said he had asked his son to appear before the police and join the probe.

“Satya Meva Jayate. With utmost respect for the law and judiciary, today my son Bandi Bageerath went before the Telangana Police through our advocates for investigation,” the union minister said in a post on X.

The development came a day after the Telangana High Court refused to grant interim protection from arrest to Bageerath.

Bengaluru (PTI): Human skeletal remains, including a skull, suspected to be that of a woman were discovered in and around a lake on outskirts of the city, police said on Saturday. 

The matter came to light after shepherds spotted the remains near the lake at Mugalur near Sarjapur while grazing cattle in the area and alerted the police, they said. 

During the inspection, investigators found bones scattered across the dried lake bed and nearby areas, a senior police officer said, adding there was suspicion that the remains must be at least three months old. 

Police suspect the victim may have drowned in the lake earlier, with the skeletal remains surfacing after water levels receded significantly during the summer.

Officials also suspect stray dogs could have dragged some of the remains to surrounding areas after the lake dried up further.

With pieces of a saree recovered from the spot, police suspect that it could have been of a woman. 

Forensic experts and the Scene of Crime Officer team visited the spot and collected the skeletal remains and other evidence for examination.

A case has been registered and the remains, along with other evidence, have been sent for forensic analysis, the police officer said.

The identity of the deceased and the exact cause of death are yet to be established, he added.
