Hyderabad: A local court on Monday directed police to investigate into the allegations whether Union ministers Sushilkumar Shinde and P Chidambaram ‘cheated’ the people of Telangana region by their statements on the statehood issue, reports PTI.
Based on a complaint filed by Telangana Junior Advocates’ Association president Naresh Kumar, the Second Metropolitan Magistrate Court directed the LB Nagar police to investigate into the matter and file a status report before it by 14th February.
Kumar, in his petition, had mentioned about the statements of Shinde and Chidambaram on the Telangana issue and sought the court’s directions to refer the matter to the police for investigation under section 420 (cheating) of the IPC.
During the all-party meeting convened by the Centre on Telangana in New Delhi on 28th December last year, home minister Sushilkumar Shinde had said the Telangana issue would be resolved within a month.
On 9 December 2009, the then Union home minister P Chidambaram had announced on initiating process to create Telangana state. However, on 23 December 2009 Chidambaram modified the statement following an agitation in coastal Andhra and Rayalseema regions of Andhra Pradesh.
Meanwhile, Cyberabad Police Commissioner Ch Dwaraka Tirumala Rao said they were yet to receive the court orders in this regard.
Asked if the police would lodge any case against the Union ministers, the senior police officer said, “We have to first go through the order copy and act accordingly.”
