Tension prevailed as the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) activists on June 24 staged a dharna in front of the II-Town police station in Chittoor, seeking action against a police officer for allegedly prompting his driver to hit former Mayor Katari Hemalatha with the office vehicle during a protest on June 23 midnight.

Ms. Hemalatha, who sustained injuries on her leg, is undergoing treatment at the District Hospital.

The demonstration saw the TDP activists and the police personnel exchanging heated arguments and jostling with each other. Additional forces were deployed to diffuse the tension.
