Telangana BJP Seeks Court-Monitored Probe Into Mirza Baig Allegations
The Telangana BJP says serious allegations involving Mirza Rahmath Baig need an independent investigation.
The allegations concern a woman and a minor, but they have not been proven in the report.
BJP spokesperson N V Subash said removing Baig from AIMIM is not the same as establishing the facts.
He asked for a court-monitored inquiry or a CBI investigation.
The BJP also wants officials to examine a controversial video connected to reported blackmail claims.
AIMIM expelled Baig from the party.
The party also told him to resign from the Legislative Council.
The report says earlier cases involving people with similar surnames concerned different individuals.
Officials have not been quoted announcing the investigation demanded by the BJP.
The Telangana BJP demanded a court-monitored or CBI investigation into allegations involving AIMIM MLC Mirza Rahmath Baig and others.
BJP spokesperson N V Subash said AIMIM’s expulsion of Baig was insufficient and could not replace a criminal investigation.
The allegations reportedly involve sexual assault of a woman and a minor, though the article does not establish the claims as proven.
The BJP also called for investigation of a controversial video after Baig reportedly complained of blackmail and threats to Hyderabad Cyber Crime Police.
AIMIM expelled Baig and directed him to resign from the Telangana Legislative Council with immediate effect.
