The Andhra Pradesh government is closely monitoring the situation surrounding the release of YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) social media activist Varra Ravinder Reddy. Ravinder Reddy has been at the center of controversy after allegations surfaced that he posted objectionable content targeting several opposition leaders, including TDP Chief Nara Chandrababu Naidu, Nara Lokesh, Pawan Kalyan, Vangalapudi Anita, and Y.S. Sharmila, during the YSRCP’s rule.
He was detained on Tuesday night from Pulivendula in Kadapa district. It has been learned that he had been secretly brought to Kadapa for interrogation. As reported, police issued Section 41A notices and released him by Wednesday morning.
The government reacted in concern about the release of Ravinder Reddy. Even the Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu and DGP Dwarka Tirumala Rao showed their disgust in the manner of handling the case. The police from Kadapa are all busy in widening the scope of search with regards to Ravinder Reddy as he disappeared from the scene when notices were being issued.
In a bid to clarify the whole affair, Kurnool Range DIG Koya Praveen visited the Kadapa SP office to discuss the case with SP Harshavardhan Raj. However, the government transferred him soon after.
Further attempts to re-arrest Ravinder Reddy on another case were futile as the police found that he had managed to escape. He is being searched all over. During the pursuit of the investigation, the police have arrested several relatives of Ravinder Reddy at the Chintakommadinne Police Station for interrogation. Ravinder Reddy has been charged in several cases pending in Mangalagiri and Hyderabad.
