BRS working president KT Ramarao’s brother-in-law Raj Pakala got temporary relief from the High Court in the Janwada farmhouse party case. The court ordered not to arrest Raj Pakala and ordered him to appear for interrogation in a couple of days.
In the late hours of Sunday, the police and excise officials raided Raj Pakala’s farmhouse in Janwada where a party was being held. A significant amount of foreign and domestic liquor was seized at the party.
One of the party attendees also tested positive for the consumption of cocaine. Cases were filed against him and Raj Pakala. Last night, the police went to Raj Pakala’s residence in Orion Villas in Hyderabad but he was absconding.
This morning, the Mokila police issued notices to Raj, asking him to appear for questioning at 11 am. It was warned that he may face serious repercussions, including a possible arrest if he fails to attend the interrogation.
Immediately, Raj Pakala filed a lunch-motion petition at the Telangana High Court. The magistrate heard the case this afternoon. Advocate Mayur Reddy appeared on behalf of Raj Pakala and informed the High Court that Raj was unlawfully targeted as he is KTR’s brother-in-law. He further requested the court to issue orders not to arrest Raj.
On the flipside, Additional Advocate General Imran stated that no arrests were made in the case till now and Raj Pakala was only asked to attend the interrogation.
Upon hearing the case, the court ordered not to arrest Raj Pakala. It asked Raj to cooperate police by attending the interrogation in the next two days.
