The police have asked the legislator to respond as to why action cannot be initiated against him for violating the conditions imposed by the High Court.

They had directed the MLA to reply within two days.

It has been mentioned in the notice that Preventive Detention (PD) Act was invoked against Raja Singh for habitually delivering provocative and inflammatory speeches.

While setting aside the police order invoking the PD Act, the High Court had imposed certain conditions.

Meanwhile, the MLA claimed he had not made any derogatory comments and alleged that it was the power misuse by the police.
