The Andhra Pradesh government has taken a bold step by transferring two critical cases to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID). These cases involve attacks on the residence of former Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu and the office of the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) during the tenure of the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP). As investigations into these incidents unfold, the government aims to delve deeper into the circumstances surrounding the attacks and identify the masterminds behind them. By moving these cases to the CID, officials are signaling their commitment to a thorough investigation and the pursuit of justice for those affected. This decision underscores the government’s intent to address the issues stemming from the political unrest and hold accountable those responsible for the violence.
At present, both cases are under the jurisdiction of the Mangalagiri police. Several leaders implicated in these incidents have already been interrogated by law enforcement. Notably, former MP Nandigam Suresh has been detained in connection with the attack on the TDP office. Meanwhile, others involved have secured anticipatory bail from the Supreme Court and have been served notices for further questioning by the police.
The police have already questioned former minister Jogi Ramesh regarding the attack on Chandrababu Naidu’s residence. Both cases involve several leaders from the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) from Krishna and Guntur districts. Prominent party figure Sajjala has sought the aid of the High Court in connection with these incidents. With the transfer of these cases to the CID, it appears that YSRCP leaders believed to be involved are under increasing pressure.
