NBW issued against Telangana Minister Surekha
A court in Hyderabad issued a non-bailable warrant against Telangana Minister Konda Surekha.
This happened because she didn't show up for a hearing in a defamation case.
The case was filed by K T Rama Rao, who is a leader in the BRS party.
The minister made some remarks about Rama Rao that he found defamatory.
The court decided to proceed with the case after reviewing the evidence.
The minister had also made similar remarks about actor Nagarjuna's family, but that case was withdrawn after she apologized.
The next hearing in this case is scheduled for February 5, 2026.
