Revanth Reddy Orders Probe Into BRS 'Purification' Row and Assembly Clashes

Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy has ordered a comprehensive investigation into a chain of incidents that have roiled the state's political landscape, spanning the alleged abuse of Assembly Speaker G Prasad Kumar, clashes between BRS MLAs and police, and the controversy over an alleged "purification" ritual at the farmhouse of BRS chief K Chandrashekar Rao.

The decision to launch a probe covers all three episodes, which have unfolded in quick succession and drawn sharp political reactions across the state.

The alleged mistreatment of the Speaker and the confrontation between BRS legislators and police personnel form part of the same sequence of events that the inquiry will examine. The controversy over the reported "purification" ritual at the BRS chief's farmhouse is also within the scope of the investigation.

Revanth Reddy's announcement of the probe follows the escalating row, which has pitted the ruling party against the opposition BRS. The chief minister has also called for a social boycott in connection with the developments, sharpening the political confrontation over the incidents.

Further details of the investigation, including its composition and terms of reference, were not immediately available.
