The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) central leadership has requested a detailed report from its Telangana unit regarding a case filed under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act against Bandi Sai Bageerath, the son of Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Bandi Sanjay Kumar. This request comes amid ongoing media scrutiny and public protests demanding Mr. Bageerath's arrest. A complaint was lodged by the mother of a minor girl, alleging that Mr. Bageerath sexually assaulted her daughter at a farmhouse in Moinabad on December 31, 2025. In response, Mr. Bageerath filed a counter-complaint in Karimnagar, claiming extortion and blackmail by the girl's family, who allegedly demanded ₹5 crore (approximately $600,000 USD) and threatened to falsely implicate him. The Telangana BJP has attempted to distance itself from the allegations, labeling them a 'family matter' and asserting that the law should proceed without political interference. Senior party leaders have advised Mr. Sanjay Kumar to ensure his son fully cooperates with the investigation, emphasizing the importance of transparency in the ongoing legal proceedings. The BJP's central leadership is closely monitoring developments as the case garners significant public and political attention in Telangana.
