Cyberabad police send teams in search of Bandi Bhageerath absconding in POCSO case

Cyberabad police has sent teams to Delhi and Karimnagar in search of Union Minister of State for Home Affairs, Bandi Sanjay?s son Bandi Bhageerath allegedly involved in a sexual assault on a minor girl.

As Bhageerath failed to appear before police on Wednesday despite a notice being served on him, the police sent teams to Delhi and Karimnagar to arrest him in the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) case registered against him.

Pet Basheerabad police reportedly sent a second notice to Bhageerath?s uncle in Karimnagar as it was the last identified location of his mobile



phone. Bhageerath on Wednesday sent a letter to Station House Officer of Pet Basheerabad Police Station, seeking two days? time to appear before him.

The Central minister?s son has approached Telangana High Court for interim bail. His petition is scheduled to come up for hearing on Thursday before a Vacation Bench. Bhageerath?s lawyer is going to argue in the court that the girl is not a minor and hence POCSO can?t be applied in the case.

The accused?s legal team is alleged to have evidence of the victim?s real age as per purported records produced previously in a court in a road accident case.
