Controversial Telangana legislator and suspended BJP leader T Raja Singh has been issued a fresh show-cause notice by Hyderabad police for his recent speech at the Hindu Janakrosh Morcha event in Mumbai. The notice issued by the Mangalhat station house officer, dated January 30, refers to a violation of conditions imposed by the Telangana High Court during his release from jail recently. This is the second show-cause notice issued to the MLA by the Hyderabad police in the last two weeks.
The 45-year-old leader had spent 76 days in prison last year after the Telangana Police invoked the Preventive Detention Act against him for repeated offences stoking communal tensions in the city in connection with a controversial video released by Singh in August 2022. The state’s decision to invoke the PD Act against him by stating that he was involved in 104 criminal cases since 2004, including 18 communal cases, was dismissed by the high court in November.
