Gopalapuram MLA Talari Venkat Rao suffered injuries when some locals attack him in G. Kothapalli village in Dwaraka Tirumala mandal in Eluru district on April 30.
The incident occurred when Mr. Venkat Rao went to the village to console the family members of YSR Congress Party activist, Ganji Prasad, who was murdered by some miscreants.
Police deployed additional forces in G. Kothapalli village and shifted the MLA to a safer place. A few policemen also suffered injuries in the attack and the tense situation continued for more than two hours in the village. “A rival group of the MLA resorted to the attack,” the locals said.
