A BJP corporator, identified as Srivani, is currently the subject of a police investigation in Hyderabad following a controversy involving the removal of rakhis from students at a school. The incident, which has drawn public attention, centers on accusations that the corporator interfered with the students' observance of the Raksha Bandhan festival.

Authorities have registered a First Information Report (FIR) against Srivani under Sections 196 and 299 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). These sections of the law pertain to the promotion of enmity between different groups and the deliberate act of hurting religious sentiments. The legal action follows complaints that the corporator’s actions were inappropriate and targeted the religious expression of the students involved.

While the police have confirmed the registration of the case, details regarding the specific sequence of events inside the school remain limited. The incident has highlighted ongoing sensitivities regarding religious symbols in educational environments. As of now, the corporator has not publicly detailed her version of the events, and the investigation is ongoing to determine the circumstances that led to the confrontation. The case reflects broader concerns about maintaining secular decorum in schools while respecting cultural and religious traditions.
