Hyderabad Desk

Hyderabad: The Mangalhat police on Tuesday issued a show cause notice to suspend BJP MLA T Raja Singh for using the social media platform.

Taking cognizance of a social media post posted by the BJP legislator on facebook, the police have slapped a notice on him and sought reply within 48 hours.

On November 10, while quashing the PD Act invoked against Raja Singh, the Telangana High court laid down certain conditions that includes desisting him from making any hostile speeches or anti-religious social media posts and holding press meets.

Raja Singh was arrested on August 23 for allegedly making objectionable remarks about Prophet Muhammad, and a FIR was filed against him after massive protests erupted in the city, demanding that he be prosecuted. However, he was released on bail on the same day, but on August 25 he was arrested again under the PD Act.

“As per the High Court directives, Raja Singh is barred from using social media platforms for any kind of messages; we have seen a recent post of the legislator which violates the court order” said N Ravi Inspector Mangalhat police station.
