Vamshi seeks police action against rumour-mongers

Vijayawada: Gannavaram MLA Vallabhaneni Vamshi , who recently quit TDP, on Tuesday moved the high court seeking directions to Vijayawada police to register cases against persons threatening and spreading rumors on social media.

In the petition Vamshi said that one Byreddy Siddarth Reddy and others were making baseless accusations and threatening him and his family.



Vamshi said wild allegations and false information were being spread on social media against him. He had lodged a complaint with Gannavaram police on September 16. However, the letter sent by the Vijayawada police commissioner is contrary to section 154 (3) of CrPC wherein he is bound to initiate criminal proceedings against the accused.

As the police did not register a criminal case, he sought directions from the court giving instructions to the police to initiate criminal proceedings against the accused. The high court after hearing the arguments on Tuesday reserved the judgement.
