Amaravati (Andhra Pradesh) : Yusuf Pathan, who is the main follower of former YSRCP MLA Vallabhaneni Vamsi, has been arrested by the AP police in the TDP office attack case. Already, another follower of Vamsi, Ramesh, was detained by the police last night.
The Police also named Vamsi as the 71st accused in the case of the attack on the TDP office in Gannavaram. Already 18 people have been arrested in this case. Although Vamsi was not directly involved in the attack, there are allegations that the YSRCP mobs created havoc at his instigation. At that time, Vamsi was the MLA. In this background, the police are searching for Vamsi in Hyderabad, Gannavaram and other areas.
As the YSRCP government was in power until recently, the police faced allegations of not taking against the followers of Vamsi. No action was taken in this case as the police known to the former MLA were in key positions. As soon as the NDA coalition government came to power, special attention was paid to taking action against the perpetrators of attacks during the previous regime.
The TDP-led NDA government has issued orders to the police to take action against those involved in the attack on the TDP office. On the 9th of last month, the police arrested 15 people and later three others. The rest are absconding.
