In a significant development, Hyderabad’s Punjagutta police have registered a case against Praja Shanthi Party founder and evangelist K.A. Paul on allegations of sexual harassment. The complaint, initially brought forward by a woman employee working in Paul’s office, accused him of sending inappropriate messages over WhatsApp and behaving in a physically inappropriate manner. The matter first came to light when the victim approached the Hyderabad She Teams, who conducted a preliminary inquiry before forwarding the case to the Punjagutta police for further action.
According to officials, the woman alleged that KA Paul misused his position of authority to harass her, which led her to seek help from law enforcement. She Teams, which specifically deal with crimes against women, reviewed her complaint and evidence before transferring it to the police station for formal investigation. The case has since been booked, and officers confirmed that detailed questioning and examination of digital evidence are underway. Police sources stated that more clarity will emerge as statements are recorded and further inquiry progresses.
The incident has sparked widespread attention as KA Paul is a high-profile figure in both political and religious circles. Known for his controversial remarks and frequent political interventions, Paul’s latest legal trouble has already drawn reactions across Telangana’s political spectrum. While the police have not disclosed further details pending investigation, the case has raised questions about workplace safety and accountability among public figures. Authorities are expected to share updates once the investigation reaches a conclusive stage.
