00:00In Telangana that stones were pelted at a bus carrying congress workers returning from Delhi.
00:06FR has been registered in Telangana. Stones were pelted at a bus which had the congress workers as passengers.
00:13They were likely returning from Delhi after the rally.
00:16And FR has been registered. We'll try and get more understanding on this.
00:18This had at least 34 congress leaders of Telangana state unit of the congress.
00:24And other workers as well who were returning to Hyderabad after they participated, remember, in the Desh Bachao march at
00:30Ramlila Maidan in Delhi.
00:31What we are told is, as visuals on your screen, look at that.
00:35That the windows were pelted with stones. Unidentified miscreants though in Kamaradi district.
00:41The incident took place at about 12.30am late into the night.
00:45This was near Tekriyal Bridge on National Highway 440 when unidentified persons allegedly pelted stones at the moving bus not
00:52once but twice.
00:53And this is from the left side.
00:55The passengers have thankfully escaped without reported injuries.
00:59So who were these unidentified miscreants who pelted stones at the bus that had congress workers and passengers?
01:05Clearly the window panes have been shattered.
01:07But remember, this would likely be a time when the passengers were fast asleep.
01:11And this could have led to, of course, a dangerous situation as well.
01:15This was a bus returning from Delhi to Hyderabad.
01:19And this happened in Kamaradi district.
01:21Not once but at least twice the stones were pelted near the Tekriyal Bridge on National Highway 44.
01:26This is 4th November, 12.30am late into the night when the incident that took place in Telangana.
01:32But there is no identification yet about what exactly happened.
01:36We will try and also listen in.
01:37I believe that the driver and the passengers are trying to explain about what exactly happened.
01:43But you can see one of the passengers and leaders also of the Congress unit of Telangana are there describing
01:51what happened.
01:52Window plane clearly shattered.
01:53Remember, the stone could have also, of course, hit the passenger sitting right there.
01:57And could have led to casualties as well.
02:00Was this just about someone pulling a prank, throwing a stone?
02:04Was this a political attack of any kind?
02:07We'll wait for further investigation on that.
02:09There is no clarity about who pelted stones.
02:11Abdul Vashir is joining me for the latest on that.
02:14Abdul, what are your sources telling you in the Congress party?
02:18What exactly happened?
02:19What part of Telangana was this in Kamaradi?
02:21Was this a highway, a busy one or perhaps a rural area?
02:26Give us details.
02:28Well, what we are learning is that after completing the Delhi's protest, that is Ramlila Maidan protest,
02:34the Congress leaders who were returning back in a bus were attacked,
02:38were allegedly attacked near Tekrial Bridge on the NH44, the highway, National Highway 44 in Kamaradi district,
02:46when unidentified miscreants allegedly pelted stones at this particular moving bus
02:50in which more than 30 Congress leaders were returning to Hyderabad.
02:55This attack took place around 12.30 a.m. on November 4th, that is yesterday.
03:01And suddenly, you know, the bus that was moving towards Hyderabad after pelting,
03:06after it was pelted with stones, it stopped midway.
03:09And when the Congress leaders got down to check who it was,
03:13the miscreants fled the spot is what the Congress leader has to say.
03:16Well, Usman Halhajri, the Congress leader from Hyderabad, has filed a complaint at the police station
03:22where an FIR has been registered.
03:24And the police is right now trying to analyze, check the CCTV footages nearby
03:28to identify these miscreants, what were their intention and why was this particular attack
03:33that has taken place at this particular bus which was coming from Delhi.
03:39Now, Devanapalli police have registered this particular case and are right now investigating this matter
03:43as to what exactly was the cause of this particular attack.
03:47Alright, we wait for further updates on that, Abdul.
03:49For now, it seems no injuries and thankfully no casualties as well of any kind.
03:54But still, who did it and why needs to be caught?
03:57Because this, remember, again could become a pattern that we don't need.
