Hyderabad: BJYM state vice president Sairam Yadav, alias Laddu Yadav, was served a notice by Afzalgunj Police on August 21 for organising an Independence Day programme at Begum Bazar Chatri without permission. Police had already registered an FIR suo motu on August 15 after noticing the unauthorised event, which was attended by actor Sonu Sood.
According to the FIR, permission was denied because Yadav had delivered a hate speech last year and conducted a rally through narrow lanes. Despite the denial, he erected a stage and gathered around 1,000-1,500 people, then led a rally from Begum Bazar to Gowliguda, causing traffic congestion. A case was registered under sections 126(2) (wrongful restraint) and 223 (disobedience to a public servant's order) of the BNS.
Yadav responded by releasing a video outside the police station saying he would approach the High Court. He accused the police of being influenced by the Congress government and called Commissioner VC Sajjanar a 'true deshbhakt', urging him to follow the law rather than his bosses.
Indian Opinion Analysis
This is not an isolated case: Section 223 of BNS (disobedience to a public servant's order) is routinely used in Hyderabad to penalise organisers who hold events without permission, especially after prior violations. Yadav's claim that other rallies were allowed suggests selective enforcement is at play, but the police's reliance on his 2023 hate speech as the reason for denial gives them a documented basis. The real test will be whether the High Court grants him interim relief or upholds the police action, and whether the state government issues clearer guidelines for political gatherings during national holidays. Watch for the next hearing date in the Hyderabad High Court.
