Hyderabad, May 11: Ramchander Raosaid the Bharatiya Janata Party has no connection with the case registered against Union Minister Bandi Sanjay Kumar’s son Bhagirath. He stated that the law would take its own course in the matter.
Speaking to the media in Hyderabad on Monday, Ramachandra Rao clarified that the issue was related to Bandi Sanjay’s family and not to the BJP as a political party. He said the party would not interfere in the investigation process.
The BJP leader stated that if members of Bandi Sanjay’s family were involved in the case, the police should conduct a fair and transparent investigation. He added that the party respects the legal process and believes the truth will emerge through the inquiry.

A minor girl alleged that Bhagirath behaved inappropriately with her during a New Year party at a farmhouse in Moinabad. Following the complaint, police registered a case under relevant sections of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act.
