Tense situation prevailed in different parts of SPSR Nellore district on Thursday as the police foiled a protest by activists and leaders of the Telugu Desam Party on a ‘Nellore Chalo’ call given by the party in support of the family of a Dalit who was allegedly done to death by the police.
Police confined senior TDP leaders, including Somireddy Chandramohan Reddy, Abdul Azeez, Kottamreddy Srinivasulu Reddy, P. Sunil Kumar and Dola Balaveeranjenya Swamy to their homes to prevent them from joining the stir by the TDP activists for an inquiry by the National Human Rights Commission into the death of the worker, Udayagiri Narayana, from Kandamuru, who was found hanging under suspicious circumstances on June 19, 2022.
