The Anantapur district police had no role in stopping the vehicle in which the 8-month-old baby was brought from Cherlopalli to RDT Hospital in Kalyandurg, or causing any delay due to the placement of barricades for the victory rally of newly appointed Minister Usha Sricharan’s on Friday evening., claimed Superintendent of Police Fakkeerappa Kaginelli.
Addressing a press conference here on Saturday, he said the baby’s maternal uncle had brought the patient on a two-wheeler starting at Cherlopalli at 6.10 p.m. on Friday and reached the RDT Hospital, 27 km away, at 6.50 p.m., displaying the GPS coordinates of the vehicle from the cellphone towers.
Showing two CCTV camera footages at the house of the Minister in Kalyandurg, he said the barricades were placed only to stop four-wheelers and lorries so that other traffic in the town was not affected. “Our personnel did not stop them anywhere, in fact, they helped him reach faster by showing him the way,” the SP claimed.
