The Andhra Pradesh government will stand behind the family of the slain YSR Congress Party leader Chowluru Ramakrishna Reddy, said Minister of Energy, Forest, Environment, Science and Technology, Mines and Geology Peddireddi Ramachandra Reddy here on Tuesday.
Mr. Ramachandra Reddy, who is also Rayalaseema Regional Coordinator of the party, had come to Chowluru village to pay homage to Ramakrishna Reddy, who was killed by three unidentified persons on Friday night(October 7). Ramakrishna Reddy was getting out of the car when the trio reportedly threw chilli powder into his eyes before hacking him to death with sickles. His family members alleged foul play as the CCTV camera connections were cut off in that area.
When the Minister was on his way back after interacting with family members, supporters of Ramakrishna Reddy stopped his convoy and demanded immediate arrest of the perpetrators.
