Amravati, March 09, 2022 (PPI-OT):A local Telugu Desam Party (TDP) leader, Kona Venkata Rao, committed suicide after alleging that he was harassed by the local Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress Party (YSRCP) leader and the local police in Srikakulam district of the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh. The incident took place in Pothangi village in the district. Rao’s wife, Krishnaveni, and relatives said that the police were harassing him after he made a certain post on social media, questioning the ruling party.

Rao consumed poison and was shifted to a hospital in a critical condition where he died. Soon, several TDP leaders reached the hospital and argued with the Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Shiva rami Reddy, saying that the police had a role in his death. TDP chief Chandrababu Naidu also reacted to Rao’s death and said that the police were harassing the party leader at the behest of local YSRCP Member of Legislative Council (MLC) Duvvada Srinivas.

On the other hand, a BJP youth leader, Amresh Tiwari (Muni), was murdered over a land dispute in Kanpur Dehat district in Uttar Pradesh. Meanwhile, a woman’s charred body was found in Kavali town in Andhra Pradesh. Five people of a family were killed in a house fire at Varkala in Kerala state.
