Court Orders Criminal Defamation Case Against Telangana Minister
A court in Hyderabad has told the police to start a criminal case against Konda Surekha, a Telangana minister.

The court decided there was enough reason to proceed under the law.
Surekha will be officially notified about the case by August 21.
The court also addressed how evidence, like a pen drive, would be used in the case.
