Hyderabad court restrains A Revanth Reddy from linking K T Rama Rao to drug scandal

HYDERABAD: TPCC president A Revanth Reddy and his agents have been restrained by a city civil court from making any defamatory allegations against minister K T Rama Rao linking him with the ED probe into the Tollywood drugs scandal.
Third additional chief judge Kalyan Chakravarthy of Hyderabad city civil courts issued the ex parte injunction order to this effect on Tuesday while hearing a civil suit filed by the minister.The judge issued notice to Revanth Reddy and sought his reply by October 20 on the contentions raised by KTR.
Arguing for KTR, senior counsel S Niranjan Reddy said that the statements made by Revanth were in bad taste. “They are an insult to the young minister who has emerged as a role model for the youth. It is okay if the opposition leader confines his criticism to the political spectrum, but it is unfair on his part to make personal and baseless attacks,” Reddy said. TNN
