The issue assumed a political colour in Telangana on Sunday with BRS Working President K T Rama Rao demanding an impartial and thorough investigation into the “allegations of harassment” made by Magee”.
A senior IAS officer in Telangana, who conducted an enquiry into Miss England Milla Magee’s reported allegations concerning ethical issues during the ongoing Miss World 2025 pageant, said that he found no evidence for the charges.
Jayesh Ranjan, a Special Chief Secretary of the state government, told PTI on Sunday that he has completed the inquiry and “no evidence was found” over Magee’s reported allegations.
Magee withdrew from the contest, citing family issues.
In a statement to a British tabloid, Magee reportedly expressed disappointment with the pageant’s environment, which she said did not align with her expectations of ‘beauty with a purpose’.
Contestants were allegedly expected to wear make-up at all times and remain dressed in ball gowns throughout the day, media reports said, quoting her.
Miss World CEO Julia Morley has denied the allegations.

Noting that Telangana has a rich culture of respecting and venerating women, Rama Rao said “such an incident” is profoundly distressing.
Magee withdrew midway, citing a family emergency involving her mother’s health, the organisers said on Saturday.
Following her departure, Charlotte Grant, the first runner-up of Miss England, has stepped in to represent her country.
“Earlier this month, Milla Magee requested to leave the competition due to a reported family emergency involving her mother’s health.
