MLA BOOKED FOR CONFINING TWO POLICEMEN

On Saturday, Telugu Desam MLA from Tanuku A. Radha Krishna along with eight others was finally booked on charges of wrongful confinement of two police personnel over an issue at Tanuku rural police station in West Godavari.

The MLA and eight others were booked under Sections 341, 342 and 353of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) (Punishment for wrongful confinement).

There was a dispute between two Dalit groups, one supported by the ruling TD and the other by the opposition YSR Congress.

On May 18, the Tanuku MLA, A. Radha Krishna, allegedly asked the Iragavaram Sub Inspector, Srinivasa Rao, to meet him at his residence at Relangi village in Iragavaram mandal. Accordingly, SI Rao along with his writer Prateep Kumar met the legislator.

Mr Krishna reportedly found fault with the SI for implicating the Dalits of his party and confined them.
