In Hyderabad, the local police have taken action against K Madhavi Latha, who is the BJP candidate for the Hyderabad Lok Sabha seat. This was in response to an incident where she requested some Muslim women, who were wearing burqas, to reveal their faces at a polling station in order to verify their identity. A case has been filed against her at the Malakpet Police Station and she has been charged with sections 171 C, 505 C of the Indian Penal Code, as well as section 132 of the Representation of People Act.
The incident in question gained attention when a video of Madhavi Latha checking the identity cards of these Muslim women and asking them to show their faces started circulating on social media. Anudeep Durishetty, the District Collector and District Magistrate of Hyderabad, who is also the returning officer for the Hyderabad Lok Sabha constituency, confirmed that a case had been registered against her.
Madhavi Latha is currently engaged in a direct competition with Asaduddin Owaisi, the president of AIMIM, who is seeking a fifth consecutive term in office. The upcoming election is sure to be fiercely contested between these two candidates, with both of them vying for the support of the voters in Hyderabad.
