Police registered cases against Mahesh and Mahender Reddy under Sections 132, 352 and 351(2), read with 3(5), of the BNS on a complaint alleging obstruction of officials performing their duties when the BRS legislators were prevented from entering the Assembly premises at Gate no.3 on September 7.
They summoned both Mahesh and Mahender Reddy for questioning on Monday, despite the festive occasion of Ganesh Chaturthi.
While the
questioning was underway, around 15-20 masked men reportedly entered the station premises at about 6.30 pm and attempted to attack the two.
The BRS legal team present at the station came to the rescue of the duo, following which the attackers fled. Speaking to the media, the BRS legal team alleged that the attack occurred in the presence of the Saifabad police. The visuals of the masked attackers coming into the police station were captured on the CCTVs of a nearby hotel.
