Liquor scam: YSRCP MP Midhun Reddy appears before SIT
Amaravati, Jul 19 (PTI) Rajampeta LS member PV Midhun Reddy on Saturday appeared before the Special Investigation Team probing the alleged Rs 3,200-crore liquor scam during the previous YSRCP regime. The YSRCP leader arrived in Vijayawada to attend the probe and his questioning comes in the wake of the arrest of other accused persons–Dhanunjay Reddy, Krishna Mohan Reddy and Balaji Govindappa. The opposition party slammed Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu for allegedly indulging in vindictive behaviour and foisting 'false' cases against people close to YSRCP supremo YS Jagan Mohan Reddy. The case against Mithun Reddy is part of a larger vindictive conspiracy to arrest people who are in close proximity to the party leadership, said senior YSRCP leader Malladi Vishnu in a party release. 'But we will bounce back to call the bluff of Chandrababu Naidu," he said, adding that the more vindictive the actions of the Naidu government, the stronger YSRCP's resolve becomes to fight back and expose the 'failures and corruption' of the coalition government. 'I am confident that justice will prevail and that the judiciary will act fairly. His decision to attend the inquiry shows his determination to prove his innocence and his respect for the rule of law," Reddy told PTI Videos.

Soldier Punched, Kicked, Pushed To The Ground By Kanwariyas At UP Station
In a shocker from Uttar Pradesh's Mirzapur, a CRPF personnel in uniform was thrown to the floor, punched and kicked by a group of Kanwariyas following an argument over a ticket. On Saturday morning, the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel was waiting to board the Brahmaputra Mail at Mirzapur station when he got into an argument with some Kanwariyas - pilgrims who undertake the Kanwar Yatra to collect Ganga water for offering it to Lord Shiva - over buying a ticket. A video shows the CRPF man encircled by at least eight men in saffron who pull him and one of them hits him. As he tries to retaliate, the paramilitary personnel is attacked by many Kanwariyas at once, thrown to the ground and punched and kicked several times. The group then walks away and the CRPF man is helped to his feet by a person at the railway station. Enraged, the CRPF personnel walks towards the Kanwariyas, one of whom slaps him. He tries to throw a punch but is surrounded again, punched several times and then pushed to the same spot of the platform. The Kanwariyas can be seen kicking him again and some people on the platform try to intervene. Railway Police Force Inspector Chaman Singh Tomar said seven people have been taken into custody. "Around 9.30 am today, the CRPF jawan was waiting to board the Brahmaputra Mail when he had an argument with some men in red clothes. We have taken seven people into custody and further investigation is on," he said.
