BJP Andhra Pradesh president D. Purandeswari on Saturday demanded an inquiry by a High Court sitting judge into the suicide of a 21-year-old Dalit, Bonta Mahendra, following his alleged illegal detention by the Kovvuru town police in East Godavari district.
Mahendra was kept in the police station allegedly without registering a case in connection with a clash over a YSRCP’s flexi banner erected at Dommeru village.
Ms. Purandeswari, accompanied by BJP supporters, consoled the family members of Mahendra, who consumed poison and died while undergoing treatment on November 15.
