BJP Leader Rams Barricade, injures CI And SI
The two police officials were shifted to Rims hospital for treatment: Reports
VISAKHAPATNAM: Former Srikakulam BJP unit president Challa Venkateswara Rao allegedly rammed his car into a barricade set up at the Vamsadhara irrigation office, where nominations for the Srikakulam mayoral and corporator posts were being received, injuring a circle inspector and a sub-inspector.
The two police officials were shifted to Rims hospital for treatment. Their condition was said to be normal.
Venkateswara Rao had gone to file his nomination for the corporator post. His daughter, Challa Geeshma, had filed her nomination for the mayoral post on Saturday.
Police stopped his car as a general order prohibited four-wheelers from entering the office premises. Venkateswara Rao allegedly rammed the barricade, injuring the two officials, and drove away.
Srikakulam DSP Ch. Dhananjay Naidu said Venkateswara Rao had been allowed to enter in his car as he was a person with a disability. He said a case would be registered after an investigation into the incident.
