Telangana: BJP Woman Leader Alleges Harassment by Former BJYM Leader; Case Booked
A case has been booked against former BJYM leader PM Sai Prasad for allegedly harassing and threatening a BJP woman leader in Telangana.
A major legal storm has erupted in Telangana after a prominent woman leader from the BJP filed a complaint alleging severe harassment, threats, and caste-based abuse by a former leader of the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM).
Police Register Case Against PM Sai Prasad
The Alwal Police have officially registered a case against PM Sai Prasad, also known as “Team Sai,” a former National Treasurer of the BJYM, and several associates. The action follows a formal complaint lodged by D Padmini, the 28-year-old Social Media Convener for the Telangana State BJP SC Morcha.
According to the First Information Report (FIR), the complainant, a resident of Vasavi Enclave in Old Alwal, detailed a long-standing pattern of intimidation and abuse that she claims began during her association with Sai Prasad's group and continued even after she severed ties on April 1, 2026.
Allegations of Sexual Harassment and Threats
The complaint paints a harrowing picture of repeated misconduct. Padmini alleged that on multiple occasions—specifically on December 24, 2024, April 1, 2025, and August 9, 2025—Sai Prasad pressured her to enter his bedroom while she was at his residence in Gangaputra Colony. She stated that when she refused his advances, he threatened to cause harm to her husband and children.
The harassment reportedly escalated in April 2026 at the BJP State Office in Nampally. Padmini alleged that while she was accompanied by her husband, Sai Prasad and his associates—identified as Paka Shiva, Rahul, John, and Aditya—humiliated her using sexually vulgar and casteist slurs. The group allegedly threatened to destroy her political reputation and career.
Digital Threats and AI-Generated Content
In a modern twist to the allegations, the complainant stated that Sai Prasad threatened to use AI-generated obscene photos and videos of her to damage her image. She further alleged that he claimed to have hacked or gained unauthorized access to her mobile phone.
Despite her attempts to block his contact numbers, Padmini claimed that Sai Prasad's associates continued to harass her. On the night of August 21, 2026, associates John, Paka Shiva, and Rahul allegedly arrived at her residence late at night, using caste-based slurs and threatening her family.
Legal Action and Investigation Underway
Following the complaint, Alwal Inspector A. Prashanth registered the case under several serious sections of the law, including:
- Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS): Sections 75, 78, 79, 352, 351(3), and 61 read with 3(5).
- Information Technology Act: Sections 66(C) and 66(E).
- SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act: Sections 3(1)(r), 3(1)(s), and 3(1)(w)(ii).
