Overview
- Officials arrived around 11 a.m. Friday with a large police contingent to search the Motinagar property linked to Janardhan Reddy ahead of the November 11 vote.
- Nearly 100 personnel prevented Reddy and his supporters from entering the house, prompting heated exchanges outside the premises.
- BRS leaders said no unaccounted items were found and later displayed only vests and briefs as evidence of what the team recovered.
- Reddy and BRS leaders argued the property falls under Kukatpally where the poll code is not in force, while a state minister said the squads operate under the Election Commission and may search anywhere.
- Flying squads also searched MLC T. Ravinder Rao’s residence following complaints about cash for voters, and BRS leaders said they will meet the Chief Election Commissioner to seek central forces and tighter monitoring.
