Police ask Medha Patkar to leave activist's home in Hyderabad citing law and order concerns



Patkar visited the area, interacted with some residents and left, he said.Police, however, denied reports that the reason for sending her back from the locality was linked to her visit to those allegedly affected by the proposed Musi river rejuvenation project of the Telangana government.A police team went to the house of the activist on Monday and asked Patkar about the purpose of her visit, to which she replied that she came to meet a friend.”Patkar is a national-level leader. There was no intimation to police about her visit by the person who invited her (to the house). What if something happened to her? Police did not object to her visit.We could arranged for her protection had the police been informed before,” a senior police officer said.
