Hyderabad Buzzes as BJP Leader’s Son Goes Missing in Shocking POCSO Case
In the sweltering heat of Hyderabad, a scandal with political fangs has gripped Telangana. Bandi Sai Bageerath, son of Union Minister of State Bandi Sanjay Kumar and Karimnagar MP, remains on the run in a chilling POCSO case. On Thursday, May 14, 2026, Cyberabad police fanned out to Delhi and Karimnagar, hunting the absconder who dodged a May 8 FIR.
Petbasheerabad police, leading the probe, issued a notice to Bageerath’s uncle after his phone last pinged there. The young man penned a letter to the SHO begging for two days’ grace, but ghosts of trust linger. On May 12, he raced to the Telangana High Court’s vacation bench for anticipatory bail, arguing the complainant—a girl around 17—isn’t a minor. The bench hears it today; tensions simmer.
Posters are popping up like Telangana thunderstorms—first in Hyderabad Wednesday, now blanketing Karimnagar. and urge tips to police. Who pasted them? Mystery fuels the fire, stoking whispers of vendettas in a BJP stronghold.
The allegations cut deep. Per The South First, the girl claims Bageerath plied her with alcohol and assaulted her twice at an outskirts farmhouse. FIR hits Sections 74/75 of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and 11/12 of POCSO—gravity that demands justice, especially for a teen’s shattered innocence.
Bageerath flips the script. Same day, he filed at Karimnagar’s Two Town station, naming the girl and her parents for “extortion and intimidation.” He paints a cozy tale: friends introduced them, chats bloomed into family outings—temple trips to Vijayawada, Arunachalam, Tirumala. What started sweet soured into blackmail, he says. Families who prayed together now claw in court.
This isn’t just legalese; it’s heartbreak. For the girl, alleged violation shatters youth’s fragility. For Bageerath’s clan, privilege’s shadow looms—will dad’s clout sway scales? Hyderabad murmurs of power plays, echoing India’s grim POCSO toll: thousands of minors yearly, justice often a crawl.
Police tread gingerly amid political heat, but posters signal public fury—no one’s above law. As teams scour Delhi alleys and Karimnagar lanes, the High Court bench holds breath. Will bail fly, or nets tighten? In Telangana’s tangled web of politics and pain, one truth endures: protect the vulnerable, pierce the shadows. Families wait, posters peel, and Hyderabad watches.
