Jagan slams Andhra Pradesh police over custodial torture of leader's son
YSRCP chief Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy has alleged that an "undeclared emergency" is unfolding in Andhra Pradesh, citing the alleged custodial toruture of a party leader's son by the state police in Palnadu district. Reddy on Friday claimed that Harikrishna, son of party leader Yellaiah, was subjected to torture by the Dachepalli police in Tangada village. "Is it acceptable if police who are meant to protect people unleash violence against them. It signals the breakdown of democratic order. This is an undeclared emergency unfolding in Andhra Pradesh, Reddy said in a post on X. In a purported video shared by the former CM on X, Harikrishna's wife, children, parents, and relatives were seen staging a protest against his arrest, raising serious allegations against the police. In the video, Harikrishna's wife was heard complaining that the police picked her husband up in the morning saying that they would send him back in a few hours but they failed to do so even around mid-day. Staging a sit-in protest in front of the Dachapalli police station along with her family members and three minor children, she demanded justice and threatened that they would consume pesticides if her husband was not released or they were given an opportunity to meet him. The video showed a middle-aged man in an orange shirt, purported to be Harikrishna, sitting battered on the floor and was later seen limping as a policeman helped him walk. The video further shows locals raising anti-police slogans near the police station. Meanwhile, a local police official told PTI that Harikrishna had allegedly stabbed a man in an inebriated condition over a previous dispute and was booked under Section 109 of the BNS Act. Harikrishna was remanded as per legal procedure. Spreading false claims or political propaganda is unlawful and irresponsible, said the official.

Jagan slams Palnadu custodial torture, demands justice
Tadepalli: Former CM and YSRCP president YS Jagan Mohan Reddy strongly condemned the shocking incident of police brutality in Dachepalli, Palnadu district. Harikrishna, son of YSRCP leader Ellaiah from Thangedu village, was allegedly picked up by police, beaten in custody, and later hidden in the Circle Inspector's quarters. Taking to X, Jagan said the young man was taken without proper reason, reportedly in a vehicle linked to a TDP leader. He questioned who gave the police the right to torture citizens and hide them unlawfully. He also said that if Harikrishna's parents and villagers had not protested, the outcome could have been even worse. Jagan said this was not just an isolated incident but part of a dangerous pattern under the current government's Red Book rule. He called it an undeclared emergency in the state and a threat to democracy. He demanded that Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu take full responsibility for the incident and explain how such misuse of power was allowed. The former CM assured that he would not rest until Harikrishna receives justice and those responsible are punished.
