- Protest over cow vigilante shooting incident in Hyderabad
- Traffic disruption as BJP leaders clash with police in Lakdikapul
BJP leaders created tension near the DGP office in Hyderabad on Wednesday following the shooting of cow vigilante Sonu Singh. The protest, held in response to the incident in the IT corridor of Pocharam on the city’s outskirts, quickly escalated when leaders attempted to storm the Director General of Police (DGP) office at Lakdikapul. The police intervened and stopped the protestors before they could enter the premises.
The situation intensified as the leaders, led by BJP State President Ramachandra Rao, refused to disperse. The police eventually arrested Rao and several other party workers present at the site. Their sudden move sparked heated exchanges between the protestors and law enforcement officers. Meanwhile, the protest drew both media attention and growing public curiosity as locals gathered to witness the commotion.
The agitation disrupted normal traffic flow in and around Lakdikapul and extended into nearby Assembly areas. Commuters faced long delays as police blocked certain routes to maintain order. Officials quickly moved to regulate vehicle movement and restore normal conditions, though congestion continued for some time after the arrests.
The BJP leaders demanded immediate action and a thorough investigation into the shooting of Sonu Singh. However, authorities have not yet released any detailed statement on the incident. The heightened political response reflects ongoing sensitivity around issues of law and order, particularly those tied to activism and community vigilantism.
As of now, both the police and party representatives remain tight-lipped about possible legal consequences or further demonstrations. The city administration is monitoring the situation closely to prevent any further disruption or escalation of protests in key zones.
