Ex-MP Nandigam Suresh taken into police custody

Senior YSRCP leader and former MP Nandigam Suresh was taken into custody by the Mangalagiri police on Sunday. The court has remanded him for two days in connection with the attack on the TDP central office. The police submitted a petition to the Mangalagiri court requesting custody for further questioning in the case. Following a medical examination, the former MP was brought to the Mangalagiri police station, where security has been heightened.
The police will investigate the rural station from Sunday afternoon until Tuesday afternoon, focusing on the attack on the Telugu Desam Party central office. The court has instructed Nandigam Suresh to cooperate with the investigation during his two-day remand.
Authorities will be investigating those responsible for the attack. The court has mandated that no physical force, verbal abuse, or intimidation should occur during the investigation. However, Suresh’s legal team has requested that their lawyers be allowed to be present during questioning. The court has indicated it will review this request and make a decision accordingly.
In a separate matter, Nandigam Suresh faces charges related to incidents involving boats hitting the Prakasam barrage gates. Additionally, YSRCP leaders and MLCs were questioned by the police on Saturday regarding the vandalisation of the TDP central office and Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu’s residence. The Supreme Court has ordered YCP MLCs Lella Appireddy, Talashila Raghuram, former minister Jogi Ramesh, and YSRCP leader Devineni Avinash, along with their lawyer Oggu Gavaskar, to surrender their passports to the investigating authorities within 48 hours.
