Vijaywada: In a significant development, the Nagarampalem police in Guntur district have filed an "attempt to murder" case against former chief minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy and four others. The case, based on a complaint by TDP's Undi MLA K Raghurama Krishnam Raju, also includes allegations against former DG of Intelligence PSR Anjaneyulu, former ASP (CID), and Dr. G Prabhavathi, former superintendent of the government general hospital in Guntur.

Raghurama Krishnam Raju has accused the police officials and YS Jagan Mohan Reddy of serious charges including attempted murder, custodial torture, and criminal conspiracy. He claims that during his detention, he was physically abused, beaten, and there was an attempt to suffocate him by pressing on his chest.
