Action sought against Srikakulam police

Hyderabad, Sept 6, 2012: A delegation of YSR Congress party leaders today met Home Minister Sabitha Indra Reddy here and complained about the unwarranted behavior of police towards party leader Dharmana Krishna Das and his wife at Srikakulam recently.

The delegation, consisting of MLAs Sobbh Nagi Reddy, Balineni Srinivasa Reddy, Srikanth Reddy, Amarnath Reddy, Gurunath Reddy , Golla Babu Rao and Bala Raju, told the Minister that YSRC leaders and activists are being harassed by police.

Seeking strong disciplinary action against the Srikakulam police for their indecent behavior against Krishna Das and his wife Padma Priya on the eve of the recent state bandh, the delegation warned it would launch an agitation if no action was taken against the police.

It may be recalled police dragged Padma Priya on the road and forcibly made her sit in the police jeep while she was busy organizing the bandh. Later, Krishna Das had a scuffle with the police in which he injured his fingers.

“We demanded immediate action against the Srikakulam police for their rough  behavior against our leader Krishna Das,” they later told journalists.
