The Madapur police registered a case against Jaggaihapet MLA Samineni Udayabhanu’s son Prasad on the charges of attacking a police inspector and obstructing duties of a constable. The incident created ripples in political circles in Telugu states. The Hyderabad filed the cases regardless of the close relations of the YCP with the ruling TRS in Telangana. The provocation for serious police action was that Samineni Prasad did not hesitate to kick the inspector in presence of other police force.
It all started when a traffic constable on duty stopped MLA son’s car in Madapur area to regulate traffic there. Samineni Prasad picked up an argument and started verbally abusing the constable for alleged disrespectful talk. At this juncture, an inspector arrived on the scene with whom Prasad behaved equally highhandedly.
Then, the inspector asked Prasad to come to the police station. At this, the MLA son became furious and kicked the inspector with his leg. The police staff present there took Prasad into custody and shifted him to the police station. Cases under various sections for assault on police were booked against the MLA son. The police are not giving further details as it involved the family of a people’s representative. Tests were also conducted on Prasad to find out whether he was in an inebriated condition.
