Political tensions escalate as Congress leader Sama Ram Mohan Reddy demands accountability for Bandi Bhagirath, son of Union Minister Bandi Sanjay, amid serious allegations of sexual misconduct under the POCSO Act. The minister's son is accused of raping a minor, leading to a significant uproar from the opposition.

In a robust critique, Reddy highlighted the need for justice, urging Bandi Sanjay to ensure his son adheres to the legal process. This follows the Union Minister's public declaration, emphasizing that no special treatment will be sought for his son, who has sought anticipatory bail from the Telangana High Court amid extortion claims.

The backdrop of this unfolding saga includes investigations by Telangana's SIT after instructions from Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, reinforcing a zero-tolerance stance on such crimes. The case has garnered widespread media attention, focusing on the high court proceedings and the serious nature of the charges against Bhagirath.
