A team from the Telangana Police visited the residence of television anchor Ashok Shrivastava in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, as part of an investigation linked to remarks he made about Congress leader Rahul Gandhi. The police, consisting of two sub-inspectors from the Begumpura Police Station in Hyderabad, arrived around 8 PM but found Shrivastava absent, as his elderly mother and son were the only ones at home. The investigation relates to a First Information Report (FIR) filed in Telangana regarding derogatory statements made by Shrivastava during a TV debate, where he compared Gandhi unfavorably to Indian freedom fighter Veer Savarkar. Following the raid, BJP leader Radhika Khera condemned the police's actions on social media, suggesting they were an infringement on free speech and questioning the motives behind the police's involvement.
