Union Minister Bandi Sanjay Kumar has approached the City Civil Court in Hyderabad, seeking the removal of allegedly defamatory content related to his son, Bandi Bhagirath, who faces serious allegations of sexual harassment. In his petition, Bandi Sanjay Kumar has requested the court to issue directives to digital platforms and media outlets to take down content linking him to his son's case. His legal counsel, Advocate Karunasagar, explained that the petition includes two interlocutory applications: one to prevent further broadcasts of defamatory content and another for the immediate removal of existing material. The allegations against Bandi Bhagirath stem from a complaint filed by the mother of an alleged victim, claiming that he misled her daughter into a relationship under false pretenses and subjected her to inappropriate acts. The case is currently under legal scrutiny, with Bandi Bhagirath seeking anticipatory bail from the High Court of Telangana. The petition emphasizes that failure to comply with the court's orders could result in contempt of court charges.
