Police at Jubilee Hills station registered a case under the Model Code of Conduct (MCC) against Sunitha as A1, Akshara as A2, Yousufguda corporator Rajkumar Patel, and four others.

After the death of BRS MLA Maganti Gopinath, his family joined the race for the Jubilee Hills by-election. The BRS fielded his widow, Sunitha, hoping for sympathy votes. Meanwhile, the ruling Congress is pushing hard to win the seat at any cost, viewing it as proof of public trust.

With local body elections approaching, Congress aims to show its growing strength through this contest.
