Andhra Pradesh: Naidu condemns ‘attack’ on Chittoor former Mayor

Telugu Desam Party (TDP) national president N. Chandrababu Naidu on Friday condemned the ‘attack’ on former Mayor of Chittoor K. Hemalatha.

“It is a State-sponsored act. I am shocked to see police officers stooping low to win favours from the ruling party leaders,” said Mr. Naidu.

The TDP chief alleged that the police had foisted a case upon Poorna, a supporter of Ms. Hemalatha by ‘placing ganja in his house’. Ms. Hemalatha, who squatted on the floor in protest, was hit by a police vehicle and she sustained injuries, he said.
