CI, YSRCP leaders supported the accused in Cherukupalli teenager murder case, alleges Naidu

Launching a scathing attack on the local Circle Inspector of Police and the local YSRCP leaders, the TDP president N. Chandrababu Naidu alleged that they tried to protect the accused persons in the murder case of a 15-year-old boy. The boy, Uppala Amarnath, was allegedly burnt alive on June 16 by four miscreants at Rajolu village in Cherukupalli mandal in Bapatla district on June 16.  All the accused were arrested by the police.

TDP president N. Chandrababu Naidu has said that the accused persons in the murder case of a 15-year-old boy had the support of the local Circle Inspector of Police and YSRCP leaders.

He visited Amarnath’s house at Uppalavaripalem village and consoled his family members on Monday. 

On June 16, Uppala Amarnath, was allegedly burnt alive by four miscreants at Rajolu village in Cherukupalli mandal in Bapatla district. All the accused were arrested by the police.

Mr. Naidu, however, alleged that the accused persons were ganja addicts before setting Amarnath on fire, they stuffed paper in his mouth, tied up his hands and legs, beat him, dragged him around, and then poured petrol and set him afire.  

The TDP supremo said that the local CI did not come to the rescue of the victims, despite knowing about the incident. “Instead, he allowed the accused to tamper and fabricate the evidence at the scene of the offence,” he alleged. 

Mr. Naidu alleged that after killing Amarnath, the accused persons directly went to the police station and gave information to the CI, who helped them try to project the crime as a suicide. 

He said that Amarnath was killed as he tried to prevent the accused from sexually harassing his sister.
