DCP Charminar Kiran Khare and a team of senior officers rushed to Madannapet's Santosh Hotel Lane at 2:00 AM on Saturday after learning an egg had struck a moving Durga idol procession. The arrival of Additional DCP Majid, ACP Shyam Sunder, and Station House Officer K Chandra Sekhar quickly defused the rising tension among the crowd. They detained individuals suspected of the act and spoke directly with procession organizers to ensure the event could continue without further disruption.
The incident sparked brief unrest before the police intervention. However, organizers confirmed they were proceeding with the celebration, noting the area remained peaceful after the officials arrived. A police official stated, "We received information that an egg was thrown while the Durga Mata idol procession was passing near Santosh Hotel Lane at around 2 am. Senior officers arrived at the spot, spoke with the organizers and took the suspects into custody."
Investigators are now combing through CCTV footage to map the exact sequence of events. They aim to identify any other participants in the act and assess the broader context of the disturbance. The police have launched a formal inquiry and warned that strict legal action will follow against anyone proven responsible.
Authorities are now appealing to the public to stop the spread of misinformation. They explicitly asked residents to avoid sharing unverified rumors on social media and messaging platforms, warning that such actions could disturb public order. The final directive from the Charminar zone is clear: cooperate with the investigation and maintain communal harmony.
