BRS Krishank arrested from his house
Hyderabad: Hours after his arrest for allegations over the properties and businesses linked to Naimisha Reddy, daughter of Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leader Manne Krishank was released on bail on Tuesday, October 6.
Sharing the news on X, Krishank said, “Today, when the whole BRS leadership, legal cell and media stood for me, I’m overwhelmed with immense gratitude.”
Adding that the judge asked him what his allegation was about and how he explained it to her, Krishank went on to request the CM to “Please answer about Maxbien, Medicover and Mindvault … Also answer about 200 Crores Govt to Tesseract , 1000 crores Swachh Bio MoU, and 5 Geetha Hyundai Showrooms.
50000 Crores in just 2 years is huge corruption.”
The BRS social media convenor was arrested from his residence and was taken to Gopalpuram Police Station of the Malkajgiri Commissionerate.
A case was registered against him and others on Monday on a complaint lodged by Sai Kumar, Chairman of the Telangana Fisherman Congress Committee.
In his complaint, Sai Kumar stated that Krishank and others had circulated allegations concerning Naimisha Reddy’s alleged properties and Pharma companies and requested the police to take action if the allegations were found to be false.
A case was booked at the Hyderabad Cybercrimes Police Station against Krishank and others under sections 353 (2) (statements or reports containing false information, rumors, or alarming news that promote enmity or hatred between different groups) and 352 (intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of peace) of the Bharat Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).
A banner reading “Congratulations, Revanth Garu-for Rs.13,200 crore” had appeared outside a hospital in Secunderabad on Sunday. The same day, police arrested two BRS leaders from Secunderabad Cantonment for installing the banner.
Krishank had alleged that Medicover Hospital was sold for around Rs 13,200 crore and accused the Chief Minister’s family of using the transaction to convert black money into white.
Meanwhile, the BRS leader said he was arrested simply because the ruling party lacked the guts to provide an answer.
“I believe this is the first time someone has been arrested for holding a press conference at Telangana Bhavan. I revealed evidence and questioned the fact that individuals serving as directors in Medicover and Maxbien are also directors in the schools being built by Revanth Reddy’s daughter. I questioned how land worth Rs 200 crore was allocated to Tesseract, a company owned by Revanth Reddy’s brother. Even after three days have passed, not a single person from Revanth Reddy’s family has offered a response. I was arrested precisely because they lacked the courage to answer these questions,” he said.
Krishank was later taken to a court in Secunderabad, where he will be produced before a magistrate. Several BRS leaders reached the court to show solidarity with him.
BRS working president KT Rama Rao, while reposting a tweet by Krishank on Tuesday, slammed Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and Chief Minister Revanth Reddy.
“You question the corruption of Rahul Gandhi Ji’s unlimited ATM called Revanth Reddy. Of course the Feku Gandhi of 420 promises will get cases filed. File as many as you want Mr. Feku Gandhi; BRS will continue to expose the corrupt congress thugs. This is my promise to you. Many more to come,” wrote Rama Rao.
