The accused, Rahul, a resident of Hanumanthnagar, works as a cab driver and has 18 criminal cases registered against him, including charges of attempted murder, drug peddling and robbery, they said.

Minister for Education B.C. Nagesh said on Friday that there was no difference between the ideologies of the Congress party and the PFI. “I don’t know what Congress leaders know about the RSS.
