Telugu Desam Party (TDP) leader Ayyanna Patrudu and his son Rajesh have been arrested by CID from their residence in the wee hours of Thursday. He has been arrested for allegedly forging documents in the High Court regarding the construction of a wall in their house.
According to reports, CID registered a case on the complaint of the irrigation authorities. The irrigation department alleged that the former Andhra Pradesh minister submitted a fake certificate to the High Court while demolishing the house wall. It was alleged that Ayyanna Patrudu and his son occupied the Ravanapalli irrigation canal and constructed the house.
Ayyanna Patrudu's wife Padmavati criticised the government for arresting Rajesh and Ayyanna Patrudu without prior information. She alleged that the police have been harassing their family for the past three years. She demanded the government to take full responsibility for Ayyanna Patrudu’s life.
Meanwhile, TDP chief N Chandrababu Naidu condemned the arrest of TDP Leader and his son. He asked Jagan Mohan Reddy "is he the chief minister or a monster."
Naidu alleged that the YSRCP government has been chasing Ayanna Patrudu's family since the time it came to power.
“The government has been chasing Ayanna’s family since coming to power… more than 10 cases have already been filed. In the case of Chintakayala Vijay, the police did not change even though the CID’s procedures were wrong,” former Andhra CM tweeted.
