Amaravati: The Andhra Pradesh government has handed over the two cases, the TDP office attack case and the attack on Chandrababu Naidu's residence, to the Crime Investigation Department (CID).
The State government has issued orders transferring the two cases to CID. Both incidents are being currently investigated by Mangalagiri and Tadepalli police stations.
Former YSRCP MLC Nandigama Suresh, MLCs Lella Appireddy and Talasila Raghuram and party leader Devineni Avinash were among those named in the TDP office attack case.
Former minister Jogi Ramesh, other YSRCP leaders and their followers were booked for the alleged attack on Naidu’s residence.
In September, the police arrested former MP and YSR Congress Party leader Nandigama Suresh after the Andhra Pradesh High Court dismissed his anticipatory bail petitions.
What is the TDP attack case?
On October 19, 2021, a large number of supporters of YSRCP attacked the TDP office after TDP spokesperson Kommareddy Pattabhi Ram had made some objectionable comments against the then chief minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy. The YSRCP supporters barged into the TDP office and damaged furniture.
In September 2021, some of the YSRCP leaders allegedly attacked the residence of the TDP president and then leader of the opposition Chandrababu Naidu.
It was after the TDP-led National Democratic Alliance came to power that police launched a fresh investigation into both cases in 2024.
