Subba Rao of Guntur in Andhra Pradesh is emerging as the prime conspirator in the Secunderabad Railway Station violence, with the investigators reportedly stumbling upon fresh evidence confirming his complicity in the case.
Majority of the ‘masked youngsters’ seen in some of the widely circulated video clips of the violence ‘are believed to be his followers or associates’, said a police officer associated with the investigation of the case. Seeking anonymity, the officer said barring one all those masked youngsters seen carrying sticks and going on rampage damaging properties were suspected to be his men.
Initially, police suspected if any outsiders, persons unconnected to the issue or activists of any political parties got infiltrated into the mobs of youngsters angry with the Centre’s Agnipath scheme and perpetrated the violence. “The video clips showing some men carrying wooden logs and covering their faces with clothes naturally led us to suspect if some organised gangs were involved in the violence,” the police officer said.
