Hyderabad: An Andhra Pradesh police inspector has done the unthinkable and served Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu a legal notice, seeking a public apology and compensation of Rs 1.45 crore for “defamatory remarks” connecting him to the murder of former minister Y.S. Vivekananda Reddy in 2019.

Jogi Sankaraiah, a Circle Inspector (CI) with the state police’s Kurnool Range, says he was forced to take this step as the chief minister was “repeatedly making false, malicious, and defamatory statements” against him with reference to Reddy’s murder case. He said the CBI charge sheet had only named him as a witness in the case.

Sankaraiah, 57, was the CI at Pulivendula when the sensational murder took place in the YS family’s hometown in Kadapa district in Rayalaseema. Show Full Article
