The Kadapa district police has termed as baseless and biased the allegations made by a “senior politician”. The statement comes in the wake of the charges made by BJP Rajya Sabha member C.M. Ramesh two days back on the alleged conspiracy to eliminate TDP former MLC Mareddy Ravindranath Reddy (‘B.Tech’ Ravi).
Rebutting the allegations, Superintendent of Police Siddharth Kaushal said the police acted in accordance with law while arresting Mr. Ravi and produced him before the judicial magistrate within three hours, after completing all the legal formalities. “The law empowers the police to keep the accused in their custody for 24 hours,” he explained.
