Punganur: Clashes Between TDP, YSRCP Workers, Police Fire In The Air

Workers of the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and YSRCP allegedly pelted stones at each other, leaving several people injured. The convoy of YSRCP MP P.V. Mithun Reddy also came under a stone attack during the clashes.

TDP leader Madhusudhan Royal sustained serious injuries in the incident. Several vehicles were damaged in the stone pelting, with six vehicles reported to have been vandalised.

Police tried to disperse the rival groups, but the situation remained tense. A Deputy Superintendent of Police fired one round in the air after efforts to control the clashes failed. The injured were shifted to a local hospital for treatment.

TDP workers alleged that their opponents had brought rowdies from Bengaluru to attack them. The two groups subsequently engaged in clashes, prompting police to step up security in the area.

Police personnel were deployed in large numbers to prevent further violence. Tension was also reported in Rayachoti, where some vehicles were set on fire. Police dispersed the groups from the area to prevent further clashes. Police have registered cases and taken up an investigation into the incidents.
