A case was registered against Congress leader V Hanumantha Rao for violating the lockdown rules and coming out onto the road to garland the statue of Dr B R Ambedkar at Tank Bund.
The Telangana police in view of the coronavirus pandemic had advised people not to come on to the Tank Bund on Ambedkar Jayanthi to ensure their safety and the safety of others.
VHR, a backward classes champion, however defied the orders and marched off on to the prohibited area.
