Hyderabad: Praja Shanti Party president and evangelist K.A. Paul has alleged discrepancies in the timeline surrounding the recent death of Pastor Pagadala Praveen, which occurred under suspicious circumstances. Speaking to the media, Paul reiterated concerns he had raised earlier, claiming that emerging facts support his suspicions.
According to Paul, Praveen reportedly spoke briefly with his wife at 9:30 PM on March 24. At that time, he was said to be in Vijayawada. Paul questioned how Praveen could have reached Rajahmundry by 11:30 PM, noting that even his own vehicle with a siren takes nearly three hours for the journey.
He criticised attempts to malign the late pastor’s character. “Spreading claims that he was intoxicated and passed out is damaging his reputation. Such comments are deeply disrespectful,” Paul said.
The evangelist also made emotionally charged remarks, claiming that he possesses “powers” and “fundamental rights,” and that several individuals who opposed him in the past faced dire consequences. “Even Trump, who once had no regard for me, now supports me,” Paul asserted.
Paul’s comments have drawn public attention, with calls emerging for a thorough investigation into the pastor’s death and the sequence of events leading up to it.
