Overview

• Friday evening in Kallur, an inebriated group led by Congress leader Rayala Rama Rao clashed with hotel staff during a dispute over parathas, prompting a police call.
• When SI Haritha arrived to intervene, Rao allegedly hurled obscene remarks and pushed her aside after she slapped him.
• Two FIRs were registered—one by the hotel owner under sections for criminal trespass and obscene acts; the other by the SI for assaulting a public servant and rioting.
• Commissioner of Police Sunil Dutt said Rao and six accomplices were booked under multiple sections, including insulting a woman’s modesty and unlawful assembly, and remanded to judicial custody.
• A video of the incident circulating on social media has intensified scrutiny of the accused’s conduct and the challenges faced by law enforcement.
