YSRCP Leader Murdered

High tension prevailed in Singarayakonda after YSRCP leader Pasupuleti Ravi Teja was allegedly murdered on Thursday night. 200 people staged a protest, demanding to arrest the accused immediately. Protester torched the lorry that was used to kill the leader and chailvendram beside the police station. They took away a few items from nearby shops and burnt them on the road.

Police dispersed the protestors and doused the fire. CI Lakshman, SI Feroz Fatima, and other police personnel prevented the protestors, who tried to destroy shops on the main road.

Meanwhile, the victim’s family demanded the police arrest the accused immediately. Victim Mother further alleged that the police pressured them to remove the name of the DSP relative in their complaint. She said that Kartik and Ajay had attacked them several times earlier after they won the Mandal Parishad elections, and now they killed her son.

After police gave assurance of nabbing the culprits, the protestors took the body and performed final rites at Mulaguntapadu village.

Section 144 is imposed in Singarayakonda and Mulaguntapadu villages. SP Malika Gard said that the murder took place due to old rivalry.

Meanwhile, deceased mother Madhavi alleged that the police delayed registering the case even after they complained, along with the names of the culprits.
