Court Criticizes Police for Delay in Case Against MP Imran Pratapgarhi
The Telangana High Court was very upset with the Hyderabad Police for taking too long to file charges against a Congress MP named Imran Pratapgarhi.
The case is about some things he said during a meeting in 2020 that the police thought could cause trouble.
The court asked why the police didn't arrest him or file charges for over three years.
The judge said that people in public positions should be held accountable for their actions, especially if they disturb peace.
The court wants the police to explain the delay and will hear the case again on December 11.
