Jangaon MLA Dr Palla Rajeshwar Reddy — File Image

HYDERABAD: Jangaon MLA Dr Palla Rajeshwar Reddy issued a statement on Monday strongly refuting the complaint filed against him by Sujana Reddy, the wife of JNTU Vice Chancellor Prof. Kishan Kumar Reddy. He clarified that the allegations made by Sujana Reddy — claiming he verbally abused and threatened her at a police station last month — were baseless. Rajeshwar Reddy stated that he did not know who Sujana Reddy was and had never seen or spoken to her.

“I called the JNTU Vice Chancellor and asked for the reasons behind the verbal abuse directed at senior female professors. Acknowledging the wrongdoing, the Vice-Chancellor apologised and stated that he would provide a written response after returning from Tirupati. If there is any grievance against me, I can be questioned. Why did he verbally abuse the female professors,” Rajeshwar Reddy said.
