Andhra Pradesh: Naidu alleges torture of accused in CID custody in fake letter case

Telugu Desam Party (TDP) national president N. Chandrababu Naidu on Sunday wrote a letter to Director General of Police K.V. Rajendranath Reddy regarding the “illegal arrest” of Garlapati Venkateswara Rao and  Mokarala Sambasiva Rao in a fake letter case.

Mr. Naidu said Mr. Venkateswara Rao was picked up from his house at Dharanikota village of Amaravati mandal in Palnadu district on June 29, while Mr. Sambasiva Rao was arrested from his house in Amaravati.

The CID sleuths had barged into their houses at midnight, Mr. Naidu alleged. Such acts of the CID were posing a grave threat not only to democracy but also to the Constitution, he added.
