Medak Parliament member and Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) candidate from Dubbak constituency in Medak district, Kotha Prabhakar Reddy, was stabbed while he was campaigning in Surampalli village in Daoultabad mandal.
He received stab injuries in his stomach and was shifted to a hospital in Gajwel and later to Hyderabad for better treatment. The injuries seem to be peripheral and they were not deep or dangerous, said the hospital staff in Gajwel, who attended to him.
The person who attacked Mr. Reddy was identified as Raju, a resident of Chepyal in Mirdoddi mandal. Immediately after the attack, he was thrashed by the irate BRS activists and later handed over to the police.
