Cash-for-vote: Charges framed on accused in Hyderabad

HYDERABAD: In a significant development, the ACB special court in Hyderabad on Tuesday framed the charges against the accused in the cash-for-vote case. TDP legislators and leaders were arrested for trying to bribe independent MLA Elvis Stephenson to lure him into voting for a TDP nominee in 2015 MLC elections.


MLA Sandra Venkata Veeraiah and MP A Revanth Reddy (who is with Congress now) will have to face the trial in the case.

The ACB court issued non-bailable warrant for accused Rudra Udaya Simha who failed to appear before the court on Tuesday. The case was adjourned to December 22 for further hearing. tnn
