Today-Amaravati, Guntur crime news-Newstoday: DIG Trivikram Verma held a press conference on Sunday and gave his own new interpretation. “The TDP leaders did not give advance information to the police about the ‘Idem Kharma Mana Rashtratik’ program launched in Macharla’s 16th ward. Even though Section 30 of the Police Act is in force, they went into that sensitive area without informing the police. “As a result of that, violent incidents took place there,” he said unilaterally, in order to give a shout-out to the ruling party. It was concluded that Vaikapa arrived there because of the illegal gathering, provoking them with iron bars and asking them to leave the place… They stayed there motionless for an hour and other incidents took place only after that. In this program held at the DIG’s office in Guntur, he answered the reporters’ questions in a evasive manner.
Because they did not go…
“Ward 16 in Machar is sensitive. Section 30 of the Police Act is in force in that town. Police should be informed in advance while holding rallies and other events. Then we will arrange according to the situation. But on the 16th of this month, all the Tedepa people gathered at 5.30 pm and went towards the 16th ward. This led to an argument between the two parties. As soon as the SSI went there, the respective groups threw stones. We tried to send them away from there. However, from 6.30 to 7.30 in the evening, they did not move from there and stopped at a short distance, causing tension. So we sent Brahma Reddy. In that order, another group vandalized the Tedepa office and their vehicles. We have registered a case on these incidents. We will look at the CCTV footage and take action to see who was involved. Clashes took place because TDEPA went there without giving prior information to the police. As per the complaint given by Challa Mohan (Vaikapa leader) we have registered cases under Sections of Attempt to Murder and Illegal Assembly. We have put sections of attempted murder due to beating with iron bars. According to the complaint of Erram Annapoornamma (wife of the TDP leader), we registered a case against the other party,” explained Trivikramvarma. Two videos were shown as the reasons for registering a case under Section 307 of the IPC on Challa Mohan’s complaint.
Why not show the videos attacked by Vaikapa?
Reporter: The videos are showing that the TDP attacked. Are there no videos of Vaikapa attacking them? Why not show?
DIG: We have all the videos. We have shown you the videos that led to the registration of a case under IPC Section 307 (attempt to murder).
Reporter: Who threw stones first?
DIG: No answer
Reporter: If TDEPA is organizing a program as a party, why are others attacking it?
DIG: You don’t understand. It is seen in the videos who hit whom. I am asking you why you did not tell the police when you went to a sensitive area.
Reporter: You say TDEPA did not inform in advance. Don’t you have a responsibility to prevent violence?
DIG: Anyone from any political party can go anywhere. If we inform the local police before the rally and other events, we will prevent such incidents from happening.
Reporter: The TDEPA leaders are saying that they called the CI in advance and informed them about the program, aren’t they?
DIG: No one has given us any information. Now they are saying that they (Tedepa) have given the information. Let’s look at it. If we had information, we would have taken early action.
Reporter: Isn’t that a program organized by TEDA.. Why are so many Vaikapavars there?
DIG: Macherla Faction Background Area. 16th Ward is very sensitive. If we were given advance information, we would have arranged arrangements.
Reporter: The SP said that the incidents that happened in the matches were minor. Is it small to set fire to the houses of TDP leaders and workers, destroy vehicles, pour petrol and burn them?
DIG: Brahma Reddy’s provocation was the reason for these incidents. Every detail is on paper with us.
Reporter: Isn’t it natural that activists come from surrounding villages?
DIG: There is no problem if the program is held in the party office. The problem of law and order arose with coming into the sensitive area.
Reporter: They say they have seen the CCTV footage. How many people have been registered in the two categories and against whom?
DIG: We have registered FIRs. The putatives will continue to be examined.
Reporter: Clashes started at 6 in the evening. Why couldn’t the attacks be controlled for three hours?
DIG: Ever since the police got the information, they have been trying to control both groups.
Reporter: Brahma Reddy is said to have been sent by the police. What would have happened if it had not been sent?
DIG: You all know.
What is the answer to these questions?
Although DIG Trivikram Verma held a press conference, many questions remained unanswered.
* According to the complaint filed by Challa Mohan (leader of Vaikapa), the videos were shown saying that a case has been registered under the attempt to murder section. And why are the videos of Vaikapa leaders setting fire to the TDP office, destroying houses and vehicles of TDP leaders, burning them, and creating havoc with stones, sticks and lethal weapons not shown? Is this attempt to cover up the mistakes made by the ruling party? In the context of the police saying that they have all the videos, why did they file cases against Vaikapa activists under bailable sections and not under strict sections?
* Section 30 of the Police Act is in force in Machhar, but a case has been registered that they gathered illegally. And even if so many Vaikapa leaders gathered there.. why did they not take action under the same law?
* For three hours Macherla Bhaggumani.. If there was terror due to the destruction of Vaikapa leaders.. why couldn’t the police control it?
* How justified is it to say that the incidents happen because of the provocation of the TDP leader Brahma Reddy, leaving aside those who created the destruction?
