Telangana police booked a criminal case against Bhagirath Sai, son of State BJP president and MP Bandi Sanjay, on charges of abusing and assaulting a fellow student on Mahindra University campus on the city outskirts here on Tuesday.
Dundigal police registered the case after a video showing the assault and abuse went viral on social media platforms. While the video was being circulated, another video emerged in which the victim describes the incident but does not blame Bhagirath Sai.
On Tuesday, the first video showing an assault and abuse of Sri Ram by a group led by a youngster, purported to be Bhagirath, went viral on social media.
The video showed the victim cowering in fear while being beaten and abused by the assailant, who is heard challenging the victim to file a complaint with the threat that he would be done away with.
The viral video quickly gained political traction, with netizens debating whether Bandi Sanjay’s son was a role model for youth.
Later, another video surfaced with the victim, Sri Ram, claiming that he and Bhagirath were friends and that the incident occurred after he “misbehaved” with a girl who was Bhagirath’s friend’s sister.
He is heard saying, “My name is Sri Ram. I called and texted Bhagirath’s friend’s sister at 4 am to love me and misbehaved with her. As Bhagirath got to know this, he spoke on the same but I was rude that time, so, Bhagirath beat me up. But now we are friends. The earlier video is inconsequential now that we are friends.”
He goes on to say that they had all forgotten about the incident and that there were no problems between them now. “That video is useless. Whatever happened has happened. Now, we are on good terms. The video is only being used to create differences between us and blackmail us,” Sri Ram says in the video.
Meanwhile, the Dundigal Police has filed cases against Bhagirath Sai under various sections and is conducting an investigation.
