Raja Singh yet to get arrest notices from cops

HYDERABAD: Suspended BIP MLA T. Raja Singh secured bail on Tuesday after the court pointed out that the Mangalhat police had failed to serve him notice under Section 41 of the Criminal Procedure Code. Speaking to Deccan Chronicle, K. Karunasagar, counsel representing Singh, said, “So far, nobody has served him the notice, even though all the sections booked against him attract jail time of less than seven years.” The advocate, who has been allegedly receiving death threats over the phone for representing Singh, said, “I have lodged a complaint with the Saidabad police against the threat calls. Asked about the lack of notice, Mangalhat station house officer N. Ravi said, “After all the other procedures are done, we will serve notice to Raja Singh.” He refused to elaborate. Speaking about Singh’s bail, senior advocate L. Ravichander said it was the failure of the police in not serving the notice, which was a basic procedure.
