Telangana HC rejects BJP MP Arvind's plea to quash FIRs over derogatory remarks against KCR

New Indian Express  

HYDERABAD: Justice K Lakshman of the Telangana High Court on Wednesday dismissed three criminal petitions filed by BJP MP Dharmapuri Arvind seeking quashing of three FIRs lodged against him for allegedly using derogatory and unparliamentary language against the former chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao. The cases stem from complaints alleging that Arvind made defamatory, derogatory, demeaning and abusive remarks toward the then chief minister during press conferences on November 8, 2021 and July 14, 2022. Among the statements attributed to Arvind were phrases in Telugu including “Nichudiga Digajaripoyadu,” “Vedava,” “Tagubothada,” and “KCR burra lo penda unadhi,” among other remarks. The complaints also noted comments from another press conference where the MP reportedly called the former chief minister a “third-rated liar,” “notorious criminal,” and “useless fellow,” and made additional offensive statements.
