A.P. CM stone pelting case: Prime accused Satish moves bail plea in Vijayawada court

Vemula Satish, prime accused in the case of the attack on Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy with a stone (on April 13) moved a bail petition in Vijayawada metropolitan sessions court on Friday basically on the ground that he was falsely implicated in it. 

Satish was arrested by Ajith Singh Nagar police on April 17 allegedly for pelting a stone at the CM during his Memantha Siddham Bus Yatra in Vijayawada city and he has since been in judicial remand. He stated in the bail plea that an unruly person threw a sharp-edged stone at the CM with an intent to harm or even kill him.

He submitted that the de facto complainant Velampalli Srinivasa Rao (YSR Congress Party’s sitting MLA from Vijayawada West constituency, who was also injured in the attack) gave a complaint to the police with a view to get sympathy from the voters in the coming elections.
