Telangana HC Dismisses case against KTR over election code violation

The Telangana High Court on Thursday dismisses the case registered against BRS working president KT Rama Rao (KTR) by Saifabad police for allegedly violating the Model Code of Conduct during the 2023 Assembly elections.

According to the case details, police had booked KTR and a few party workers for using a drone near the Amaraveerula Stupam in Hyderabad during election time, claiming it



breached election guidelines.

Challenging the FIR, KTR filed a petition before the High Court, arguing that the case was politically motivated and that no violation of the election code had occurred.

Hearing the matter, Justice Jukanti Anil Kumar observed that there were no substantive grounds or supporting evidence for the offence registered under Section 188 of the IPC.
