Union Minister G Kishan Reddy on Monday alleged that the Congress government in Telangana did not allow people to celebrate the Indian cricket team's victory in the Champions Trophy final. However, Congress party's Lok Sabha MP Chamala Kiran Kumar Reddy has objected to these remarks and denied the allegations.

Video went viral on social media

Kishan Reddy posted two videos on the social media platform 'X' in which some policemen are seen chasing away youths using sticks.

Police lathicharge? 

He said in the post, 'This is how the Congress government of Telangana is not allowing the celebration of India's victory in the Champions Trophy-2025. Shameful!'

According to media reports, after the Indian cricket team won the Champions Trophy on Sunday night, the police chased away and lathi-charged cricket fans in Dilsukhnagar.

Police denied

A senior police officer denied reports of lathicharge by the police and clarified that the police only dispersed the crowd to make way for the ambulance.

The officer said, 'They were not only blocking the roads but also stopped two ambulances. The police dispersed them (people gathered on the road) to give way to the ambulances.'

It is worth noting that by defeating New Zealand in the final of ICC Champions Trophy, India has been successful in winning the Champions Trophy title for the third time. With this, the Indian team has become the most successful team in the Champions Trophy. Team India, led by Rohit Sharma, has won the second major title in the last one year
