The opposition Telugu Desam Party has alleged that the State government and the police were protecting the accused in the murder of a 15-year-old boy at Rajolu village in Bapatla district on Friday.
The 10th standard student, Amarnath, was ‘doused in petrol and burnt alive’, alleged TDP MLA Anagani Satyaprasad, in a statement here.
“Since the four accused persons in the case belong to the ruling YSR Congress Party, the police are not taking proper action against them. They were trying to protect the accused instead doing justice to the victim’s family,” he alleged.
