The incident

The former MLA’s son was booked after he “rammed” his high-end car into the barricades near ‘Praja Bhavan’ under Panjagutta police station limits on 24 December.

During the course of the investigation, it was found the main accused who actually drove the car and committed the offence had not only escaped police custody after the incident but also influenced the police official in the manipulation of facts by way of allowing impersonation and causing disappearance of evidence in collusion with some others, police said.

The case was registered based on the complaint by traffic police personnel related to reckless and dangerous driving of the car on the main road and causing a collision with traffic regulation barricades creating terror on the road, a release from Hyderabad police said.

Police had also subsequently issued a look-out circular (LOC) against Raheel, who had “fled” to Dubai via Mumbai to be with his father. The high court had recently temporarily suspended the LOC till 19 April, police said.

So far, 15 persons including Raheel and two police officers have been arrested, they said.

The former legislator, who has also been booked as one of the accused in the case and against whom police had also issued LOC, is yet to appear before the investigating officer as per orders of the high court, police added.
