No Attack on KTR’s Aides Inside Saifabad PS, CCTV Footage Proves: DCP Shilpavalli

Hyderabad:Saifabad police on Tuesday clarified that no attack had taken place on the associates of BRS working president K.T. Rama Rao. “We have examined the CCTV camera footage at the police station and no incident related to the attack was seen,” said Khairatabad DCP K. Shilpavalli.

Speaking to the media, Shilpavalli said that Rama Rao’s personal assistant Mahender Reddy and public relations officer Mahesh were called to the police station on Monday as part of an investigation into the controversy at the Assembly gates last week. “At the same time, some local youths had come to the police station to seek permission for a DJ event at a Ganesh mandapam,” the DCP said. “While they were talking to the Saifabad station house officer regarding the DJ permission, one of them recognised KTR’s PRO.”

Police said the pandal organisers had a separate issue with the PRO and they took that up with him in the police station promises. Police stepped in calmed tempers, an official said. BRS leaders alleged that Rama Rao’s associates had been attacked by what they claimed were “masked persons” who had entered the police station.
