Mancherial Court Sets March 5 Hearing on Police Custody Plea for BRS Leader Balka Suman

The court earlier rejected a similar bid, noting that the officer who registered the case is also the investigation officer.

Overview

  • Suman remains in judicial remand in Adilabad after his February 18 arrest along with six other BRS leaders.
  • The fresh petition seeks police custody to question Suman over an alleged attack on Labour Minister Dr G Vivek’s convoy in Kyathanpalli.
  • Charges cited in the case include rioting, unlawful assembly, and obstructing a station inspector’s duties.
  • On Friday the court declined an earlier custody request and signaled reluctance to grant custody once an accused is sent to judicial remand.
  • Police refiled the custody plea on Saturday, while BRS cadres accused the state of targeting Suman following the party’s Kyathanpalli municipal win.
