Opposition YSRCP alleges ex-MLA Chevireddy framed in liquor case
Vijayawada, June 17 (UNI) YSRCP leader Chevireddy Mohith Reddy strongly condemned the TDP-led coalition government for plotting to falsely implicate former government whip Chevireddy Bhaskar Reddy in the so-called liquor scam. Speaking at the party central office at Tadepalli near here on Tuesday, he alleged that SIT officials were using coercion and police force to extract false statements from former gunmen of Bhaskar Reddy. Mohith Reddy revealed that SIT officers had summoned former gunmen, including Giri and head constable Madan Reddy, and subjected them to physical torture when they refused to provide fabricated statements. He said Madan Reddy was beaten so severely that he had to be hospitalized and is currently under treatment. Photos of the injured constable were shown during the press meet. The YSRCP leader questioned whether refusing to lie against Bhaskar Reddy was a crime and condemned the SIT's brutal treatment. Mohith Reddy stated that Madan Reddy has filed a petition in the High Court seeking protection from further harassment, which clearly shows how law enforcement is being misused. The YSRCP leader warned the government that using police as pawns to frame YSRCP leaders would not go unchallenged. He also cautioned police officers that unlawful actions will make them answerable before the court. UNI DP PRS
