TRS leader\'s mother complains to cops against another TRS leader for framing her son

HYDERABAD: In a new twist to the case of alleged sexual harassment by TRS leader Vijay Simha Reddy, his mother Sharada on Tuesday complained to the DCP, West Zone, that her son was framed in the case at the behest of a TRS leader from Borabanda.

She alleged that the victim, her husband and the TRS leader were planning to kill Vijay Simha Reddy, and sought police protection. They planned to take Vijay Simha Reddy to a farm house in Moinabad and kill him, but he suspected them and escaped.

Sharada claimed in her complaint said that the victim in the harassment case, a 31-year-old GHMC contract employee, had forced Vijay Simha Reddy to talk to her and made calls frequently.

Earlier, Panjagutta police said they had recorded the victim’s statement and were obtaining medical reports and other technical evidence. The victim was discharged from hospital late on Monday.

Meanwhile, BJP and the Congress held protests demanding the immediate arrest of Vijay Simha Reddy. They accused the police of going easy on the TRS leader.

The accused told the police that he had not gone to the victim’s house, as alleged by her, and released some purported WhatsApp conversations between them.
