The Karnataka BJP deputy and the party’s youth wing chairman Tejasvi Surya allegedly entered the Osmania University (OU) campus illegally without permission and the police registered a case against him and his supporters.
He removed the barricades to enter the campus to pay tribute to the martyrs of the Telangana movement. The incident occurred on Tuesday.
The case was registered under section 447 of the IPC (criminal trespassing) and under the relevant provisions of the Hyderabad City Police Act based on a complaint filed by OU authorities on Tuesday, a police officer told PTI Thursday.
The OU Registrar, in the complaint, accused the BJP leader of trespassing on the campus by removing the barricades and holding a meeting there, the official said.
The MP had alleged that he was detained by the police. However, the city police clarified that no such incident occurred by the police or confrontation with the police on campus and said that the MP, together with his followers, entered the campus and held a meeting peacefully.
The varsity team was the epicenter of protests over the separate state of Telangana.
Surya was here as part of the Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) December 1 poll campaign.
