Telangana Rashtra Samithi rebel legislator S Bapurao, facing allegations of involvement in the human trafficking case, surrendered before the police in Hyderabad on Thursday.
A week after Andhra Pradesh Police registered a case against him, Bapurao went to the Central Crime Station along with his lawyer at around 8.30 am and gave himself up.
Bapurao, who represents Boath constituency in Adilabad district, had gone underground ever since the city police booked the criminal case on May three against him on charges of securing passports for others in the name of his wife and three children.
The police had booked a case against him based on the 'revelations' made by the alleged kingpin in the immigration scam and city-based travel agent Rasheed during interrogation.
Rasheed and his associate Muzaffar Ali Khan are now in judicial remand till May 18.
Bapurao is the second TRS legislator to surrender in the case after another rebel legislator K Lingaiah. Lingaiah's judicial custody expires on Friday.
Speaking to media persons before his surrender, Bapurao claimed that he was 'innocent' and was being 'implicated' in the case by TRS chief K Chandrasekhar Rao.
