Hyderabad: BRS women leaders on Wednesday urged director general of police CV Anand to immediately arrest Bandi Sai Bhageerath, the prime accused in a Pocso case, along with Union minister Bandi Sanjay and another accused, Sangappa, and conduct an impartial investigation.A delegation comprising former minister Satyavathi Rathod, former MLA Gongidi Sunitha and former ZP chairperson Tula Uma on Wednesday met the DGP and sought security for the victim’s family. They said the police must treat influential accused and ordinary citizens equally.The leaders cited Supreme Court observations that a minor’s consent is legally irrelevant under the Pocso Act and said all allegations of sexual assault or coercion require a fair and uninfluenced probe. They alleged that weaker sections of law were invoked in the case, allowing the accused to secure easy bail and dilute the investigation.In a separate press conference, former IPS officer and BRS leader RS Praveen Kumar demanded a suo motu case against Bandi Sanjay and sought his dismissal from the Union Cabinet. He accused the police of acting under political pressure and failing to take action against Bhageerath and his father. He also questioned police notices issued to Bhageerath’s maternal uncle instead of Sanjay, alleging bias in the investigation.
