Hyderabad: The Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) candidate for the Jubilee Hills bypoll confronted the Hyderabad police on Tuesday, November 10.
The police reportedly stopped Sunitha as she arrived at the Borabanda polling station for inspection. In a video shared on social media, a police official is seen asking Sunitha to move aside. Upon being stopped, the BRS candidate asked, ” Several people are coming here to vote, why are you stopping me?”
Following the incident, the BRS candidate confronted the police and asked, “Why are you behaving like rowdy sheeters? Keep causing as much trouble as you can until the 13th, we will see what happens after the 14th. Why are the police assisting a known rowdy sheeter in Borabanda? Why are there no preventive arrests?.”
