Over the last two days, Dalit organisations and the opposition TDP put in sustained pressure calling for police to arrest the ruling party legislator.
Andhra Pradesh police has registered a murder case against ruling YSR Congress MLC Ananta Satya Uday Bhaskar, for allegedly being involved in his former driver's death, but the victim's wife demanded that a probe by the CBI be ordered to render her justice.
Over the last two days, Dalit organisations and the opposition TDP put in sustained pressure calling for police to arrest the ruling party legislator.
The victim's wife Aparna alleged that the police tried to silence her. "I was beaten up by women police to give a statement that my husband died in an accident. They also offered me inducements but I did not budge," Aparna, who is pregnant, said.
Expressing doubts over the Kakinada police, she demanded that a CBI investigation be ordered into the case to render justice, even as she asserted that the MLC was responsible for the murder of her husband.
