Rally in Pulivendula to protest Bhaskar Reddy's arrest by CBI

YSR Kadapa: A rally was organised in Andhra Pradesh's Kadapa district on Sunday to protest the arrest of Kadapa MP Y.S. Avinash Reddy's father Y.S. Bhaskar Reddy by the CBI in Y. S. Vivekananda Reddy murder case.

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) arrested Bhaskar Reddy from his residence in Pulivendula and shifted him to Hyderabad, where he will be produced before a magistrate.

Bhaskar Reddy's supporters took out a rally in the town to protest against the arrest. Shops and business establishments also remained closed as a mark of protest.

A rally was held from R&B Guest House to the Old Bus Stand. Wearing black badges, Bhaskar Reddy's supporters staged a protest on Kadapa-Tadipatri highway. The protestors set afire an effigy to protest against what they call the biased approach of the CBI.

MLA R. Shivaprasad Reddy alleged that the CBI was targeting Avinash Reddy's family members instead of taking action against the guilty. Municipal Chairman Varaprasad also participated in the protest and condemned Bhaskar Reddy's arrest.
