On Monday, a delegation of BJP MPs, including M. Raghunandhan Rao, Eatala Rajender, and Konda Vishweshwar Reddy, submitted a request to the Governor at Raj Bhavan, urging him to direct the government to transfer the case to the NIA. They argued that, due to the interstate implications of the case, it would be appropriate for the DGP to hand it over to the NIA, which is tasked with investigating anti-national and religious terror issues.
