The Hindu
The Krishna district police issue a notice under Section 41 (A) of the CrPC to TDP leader Ayyanna Patrudu for allegedly making derogatory remarks against Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy, Ministers and YSRCP leaders at Yuva Galam meeting at Gannavaram recently. Mr. Patrudu said he had no regrets for making such remarks as they were facts.
Senior Telugu Desam Party (TDP) leader Ch. Ayyanna Patrudu was whisked away by a police team from Krishna district at the Visakhapatnam Airport on September 1 (Friday), soon after he arrived in the city from Hyderabad.
The police, however, released Mr. Patrudu on NH-16, near Vempadu Toll Plaza, at Nakkapalli, about 80-km from the airport, after issuing him a notice under Section 41 (A) of the CrPC.
The former Minister was served notice for his alleged derogatory comments against Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, Ministers Ambati Rambabu and R.K. Roja, and other YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) leaders at a meeting organised recently at Gannavaram as part of the Yuva Galam padayatra of party national general secretary N. Lokesh.
The police action was based on a complaint filed by former Minister and YSRCP Machilipatnam legislator Perni Venkataramaiah (Nani).
Meanwhile, tension prevailed following speculation that Mr. Patrudu was arrested by the Krishna district police.
TDP leaders from various parts of the State, including party national president N. Chandrababu Naidu, condemned the incident, particularly in the absence of any information on where the TDP leader was being taken.
The TDP leaders heaved a sigh of relief as Mr. Patrudu reached his residence at Narsipatnam in Anakapalli district sometime later. A large number of his supporters flocked to his to receive him.
