Tension prevailed at Ramayampet in Medak district since Tuesday morning as BJP workers called for a bandh in the mandal headquarters town demanding to arrest and punish those responsible for the suicide of mother and son.
Even Congress has extended support to the bandh. It was alleged that the ruling party leaders were involved in threatening the 40-year-old Santosh and his 60-year-old mother mother Padma- forcing them to take extreme step. Based on two separate video clips of two victims, police of Kamareddy have registered a case of abetment to suicide against Ramayampet municipal chairman Jitender Goud and six others.
Shop owners closed the shops voluntarily in support of the bandh. The BJP workers held a motorcycle rally in the town in this regard. Slogans were raised demanding justice and punishment to the culprits.
