Hyderabad: Police have registered a case against Hyderabad Mayor Gadwal Vijayalakshmi for violating the permission clause for the Bathukamma event and causing disturbance by playing loud music at NBT Nagar in Banjara Hills.
According to the Banjara Hills police, the incident occurred on October 10 during the Bathukamma festival. Mayor Vijayalakshmi was the chief guest at the event.
Police officers patrolling the area arrived at the event around 11:30 PM, as the permission was only valid until 10:00 PM.
A police constable reportedly requested the event organizers to stop the music due to concerns over noise pollution. However, Mayor Gadwal Vijayalakshmi allegedly approached the constable, insisting that the police should not interfere and allow the event to continue with high-decibel music.
Despite the police's intervention, efforts were made to continue the event, leading to a significant disturbance in the neighborhood.
As a result, the Banjara Hills police registered a case against the event organizers, Kandadi Vijay Kumar and Mohd Ghouse, as well as Mayor Gadwal Vijayalakshmi. They have been booked for violating noise pollution regulations under section 223, 280, 292, 49 r/w 3(5) BNS, and Sec 21/76 of the CP Act.
