Adilabad: Former minister and Mudhol MLA S Venugopalachary was booked for assaulting a woman in Bhainsa town, during Telangana bandh, on Monday. A case under sections 294(B), 323 and 355 of Indian Penal Code has been slapped against the legislator for verbally abusing the woman, who filed a complaint against him.
Police said the woman refused to close her shop located at Kubeer adda in Bhainsa when, Venugopalachary along with his followers, was enforcing the bandh in protest against the police high-handedness on some MPs and MLAs during last week’s rail roko.
Sources said the MLA picked up a heated argument with her when she opened her small shop. He insisted that she close the shop in support of the bandh. When the woman asked him to go away, he allegedly slapped her and gave her a tongue-lashing. “Based on a complaint from her, we have registered a case against the MLA and are investigating the matter,” police said.
