AP Assembly Speaker Kodela Sivaprasad Rao's son faces kidnap allegation

 

According to reports, V. Padmapriya, a B.Tech graduate from Gitam University, and daughter of builder V. Krishna Rao, was married to Sivaprasad Rao’s son Sivaramakrishna in 2009 and she has been staying separately at her father V. Krishna Rao’s home near Pedawaltair in Vizag for a year with her four-year-old son K. Gautham due to  problems  with her husband and in-laws.

 

“Last night at around 10 pm, my husband, along with Koteswara Rao of the Vikas group of educational institutes, Ramesh of Jayalakshmi Sea Foods, Koneru Suresh, Prasad and some others, including two armed men  barged into my parents’ house by breaking the doors with iron rods. They attacked me and my mother V. Varalakshmi,” said Padmapriya. 

 

“Anticipating danger, I made a call to DG Dial 100 seeking police  protection. But the police team came to the spot and left the place.  My estranged husband and his gang forcibly took away Gautham,” she said.

 

“After marriage I came to know that I was the second wife of Kodela Sivaramakrishna as his first wife had separated from him. Soon after  the  marriage, my in-laws Kodela Sivaprasad Rao and his wife Sasikala and  daughter Dr Vijaya Lakshmi harassed me and my husband also  supported his family, Our family has been living with  threats and the  threats have increased after the TD came to power and  Sivaprasad became  the Speaker,” Ms Padmapriya added.

 

She pleaded with the police to restore her son as she could not live without him.  When contacted, III Town acknowledged that Ms Padmapriya had lodged a complaint against her husband and 10 others, but they refused to  divulge  details of the case. However, DCP (Law and Order, Zone-II) M.  Srinivasulu said they had registered a case against Kodela  Sivaramakrishna under Section 363, 498 (A) and other sections.
