Police are verifying social media groups and CCTV footage to identify the persons who resorted to violence in Konaseema district headquarters on Tuesday.
Protesting against the government’s proposal to rename Konaseema district as Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Konaseema district, miscreants indulged in arson in Amalapuram. Unidentified persons set fire to the houses of Transport Minister Pinipe Viswaroop and Mummudivaram MLA Ponnada Satish, and set ablaze a few buses and also attacked police personnel.
