Cyberabad police in Hyderabad did some inspections at fancy hotels including a few linked to a politician’s family before the Sankranti festival. They were checking for possible gambling since it’s known to happen more during holidays. One of the hotels checked was a five-star spot in Gachibowli. The politician’s wife is a director there.
The police said these inspections are normal stuff they do to keep things safe during festivals. They didn’t say exactly what they found but they checked other high-end hotels in the city too. Their goal was really just to stop any illegal stuff and make sure everyone’s safe for the celebrations.
Because the hotels were linked to a politician’s family the inspections have caused some political drama. Even though the police say it’s routine their actions are getting lots of attention. People are talking about how the police are trying to keep things legal and safe.
