VIJAYAWADA: Andhra police on Sunday filed an FIR against YSRCP chief Jagan Mohan Reddy and his driver for the alleged accidental death of a 65-year-old party activist who was crushed under the wheels of Jagan's car on Guntur outskirts on Wednesday.
Police took Jagan's car driver Ramana Reddy into custody on Sunday and questioned him about why he proceeded without stopping the convoy, even after Cheeli Singaiah was crushed under his vehicle.
"We have conclusive evidence that Singaiah was crushed under the wheels of former CM Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy's vehicle. We have changed the sections accordingly and booked driver Ramana Reddy, Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy, (former MP) Y V Subbareddy, (former ministers) Vidadala Rajani and Perni Nani," said Guntur SP Satish Kumar.
Singaiah died when Jagan's convoy was on its way to Sattenapalle in Palnadu to meet the family of a party activist who died by suicide a year ago, police said on Sunday, revising its earlier version that blamed a private vehicle for the crash.
YSRCP questioned the police's change in version, saying the Guntur SP had Wednesday said the vehicle involved in the accident was a private vehicle, not part of Jagan's convoy.
