Hyderabad: A woman who runs an advertising agency in the city alleged in a post on X that a person who claimed to be closely associated with a senior political leader from the state made an objectionable remark by asking her to come to a guest house to discuss a business-related matter.
In her post, the businesswoman said she had been seeking a lawful opportunity in the outdoor advertising sector for three years and had recently submitted revenue-sharing business proposals to govt. I was directly asked to come to a guest house to discuss my matter,” the woman alleged in a post addressed to a senior politician.
“What disturbed me most was this: while trying to place my genuine issue before the govt, I approached a person whom I understood to be closely associated with you.
Based on the complaint, Banjara Hills police booked a case on May 2 under Sections 79 (word, gesture or act intended to insult the modesty of a woman) and 351(2) (criminal intimidation) of the BNS.
She also alleged that on April 29, at a juice outlet in Banjara Hills, the accused had threatened to “see her end” and said that his close associate, a politician, would support him. Chargesheets have also been filed in both the cases,” Banjara Hills inspector Suhasan said. The inspector said that he was not aware of the recent post by the businesswoman on X.
