The Medipally police of Rachakonda booked cases against Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Bandi Sanjay Kumar and others for obstructing police deployed for bandobast duty at Chengicherla on Wednesday. The police booked the cases by citing that the inspector of Nacharam police, A. Nandishwar Reddy, sustained injuries in the commotion.
The Nacharam police was deployed at Pittal Basti in Chengicherla, Ghatkesar following a communal dispute between two communities on March 24.
On Wednesday, the BJP MP visited Chengicherla. The mob of about more than 50 individuals, including Mr. Kumar, stormed the place by bypassing the police staffers, injuring a few officers at the spot, said the higher officials from the Rachakonda police, adding that they will be making arrests in the case in due time.
