In a significant legal development, BJP MLA T Raja Singh was acquitted by a Special Court for MPs/MLAs in Hyderabad on Tuesday in connection with a case dating back to 2022. The case involved various sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), reportedly based on Singh's alleged remarks affecting religious sentiments.

Singh, speaking to the news agency ANI, maintained that the charges were politically motivated, with false cases being registered due to pressure exerted by political parties. He expressed unwavering faith in the judicial system, predicting acquittal in his remaining legal battles as well.

The case, filed by Mangalhat Police Station, was dismissed after witnesses and evidence failed to substantiate the allegations.
