The Telangana government is said to have decided not to pursue the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) case filed against Prof Haragopal, Sudha Bharadwaj, and 150 others after chief minister K. Chandrashekar Rao directed the state police chief to “drop” the case, The Hindu reported.
Sources quoted in the Hindu report said the chief minister inquired about the history of the case with the director general of police (DGP) Anjani Kumar and commented on the need to slap such a “draconian law” in the case. The state police is now looking into the case to see if it can be diluted.
