Telangana Home Minister Mahmood Ali on Wednesday lauded the state police for conducting a "fair probe" in the Jubilee Hills rape case in which a minor was raped last month, and said action is being taken against everyone including those having political affiliations. Notably, it was alleged that the name of his grandson and the son of an MLA belonging to the AIMIM cropped up in the crime.

"I would like to appeal to all the parents to take care of their children and if they roam freely it will be difficult to stop them and we will also see and try how to control them in the coming days". He further added that Police have initiated action against all members having political connections. "No one is a friend or enemy to the police," he said. Expressing his concern over the rape incidents that took place recently in Hyderabad, the Minister blamed the mobile phones and social media for the youth "getting spoiled".
