Protest over DSC scam to continue in Andhra till Lokesh resigns, says Jagan
Digital Desk | Amaravati, Sep 21 (IANS) YSR Congress Party chief Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy said on Monday that his party would continue its protest across Andhra Pradesh till the resignation of Education Minister Nara Lokesh and a CBI inquiry into the alleged irregularities in the appointment of teachers. The former Chief Minister condemned the police highhandedness against YSRCP leaders and cadres staging a protest at the office of the Sports Authority of Andhra Pradesh (SAAP) in Vijayawada. He alleged that TDP goons, disguised as teachers, attacked the protestors. Chandrababu Naidu Garu, why are you so afraid and agitated when we demand a CBI inquiry into the DSC scam? Can you and your son, Education Minister Nara Lokesh, simply certify your own recruitment process as transparent? What value does a self-issued certificate from those accused of committing the scam carry? Stop making empty claims. If you have the courage, agree to a CBI inquiry, the YSRCP president said in a post on X. The incidents in Vijayawada today show how far your government has fallen. Our party leaders, along with students and unemployed youth, attempted to conduct a peaceful rally demanding a CBI inquiry. But the police blocked them, subjected them to a lathi-charge and allowed your goons, disguised as teachers, to attack them, he said. YS Jagan asked if the Opposition does not even have the democratic right to hold a peaceful rally. Mr Chandrababu Naidu? You are resorting to such desperate measures because serious irregularities have occurred in the DSC recruitment and because you and your son are unable to answer the questions being raised. Whenever you are caught in a scam, creating diversions to escape accountability has become your standard practice. What are we demanding? We are seeking an impartial CBI investigation into irregularities in a recruitment process connected to the futures of lakhs of candidates. If you are so confident that nothing improper happened, why are you afraid of an investigation, particularly when so much evidence has emerged? the former Chief Minister asked. He stated that lakhs of young people study for years and spend substantial amounts of money preparing for teacher recruitment examinations. They must have confidence that their hard work and merit will receive justice through a fair government recruitment system. Because of the alleged irregularities committed under your government and Education Minister Lokesh, unemployed youth and job aspirants have lost that confidence. Can police barricades, lathi-charges, arrests and stage-managed counter-protests restore this lost trust? Only an impartial CBI investigation can restore public confidence in the recruitment process. You cannot hide a scam by using the police as a shield. You cannot suppress the Oppositions voice and conceal the facts. DSC candidates must receive justice, and government recruitment must be transparent. That is why we are fighting. Nara Lokesh must accept responsibility for the DSC irregularities and resign as Education Minister. The government must order a CBI inquiry. Until these demands are met, our voice will continue to resonate across the State, YS Jagan added.

SIT files chargesheet in Vijayawada custodial death case
Digital Desk | Vijayawada, Sep 21 (IANS) The Special Investigation Team (SIT) of Andhra Pradesh Police on Monday filed the chargesheet in a court here in the alleged custodial death of Gade Sai Krishna. The chargesheet has been filed against then Krishnalanka police station Circle Inspector (Station House Officer) S.S.V.V. Nagaraju, who is Accused No.1 in the case, and six other accused. The SIT submitted evidence of the arrest of Sai Krishna (25), his physical torture in custody resulting in his death and the cremation of the body by the accused to destroy evidence. Head constables Ashok Kumar and Nani, Nagarajus associate Gulivindala Suresh, constables Babu Rao and Sambaiah, and home guard Venkat are the other accused. Sai Krishna had disappeared after he was picked up by the police on May 6. His family alleged that he was beaten to death in the lockup and his body was disposed of at a crematorium. A case was registered on June 19 under sections 127 (4), 127 (6), 103 (1) and 238 of Bharat Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) on a complaint by Sai Krishnas mother, Vijaya Lakshmi, who alleged that her son was tortured and beaten to death in custody. After she filed a habeas corpus petition in the High Court, the state government constituted an SIT to probe the case. The SIT, headed by Inspector General (Law and Order) M. Ravi Prakash, arrested the suspended SHO on June 21. The chargesheet has been filed four days after Suresh surrendered in court. According to the SIT, Suresh confessed that he had seen Sai Krishna in the police station during interrogation, and later at a private house at Ranigari Thota, where he reportedly died on May 12. Suresh told SIT that Nagaraju, head constables Ashok Kumar and Nani cremated the body to destroy the evidence. The investigations revealed that the NTR Commissionerates Task Force police, along with the Krishnalanka police, went to Markapuram on May 5, 2026, and picked up Sai Krishna, against whom two Non-Bailable Warrants (NBWs) were pending. He was handed over to Krishnalanka police on the next day. Suresh told SIT that when he went to the police station on May 12, Nagaraju took him to a private vacant building, located at Ranigari Thota, where Sai Krishna was seen in pathetic condition on May 12. The victim reportedly told Suresh that he was being beaten severely every day since he was brought to the police station. Suresh told the investigating officials that Sai Krishna collapsed while he was talking to him. The two head constables checked the pulse of the victim and confirmed that he had died. On Nagarajus direction, the head constables shifted the body after wrapping it with a blanket on a two-wheeler to Swargapuri crematorium, around midnight on the same day, and Suresh followed them on a bike. The trio cremated the body. Nagaraju and Suresh visited the crematorium on May 18 to verify the place where Sai Krishnas body was cremated and checked if any remains of the victim were left. The investigation also revealed that Nagaraju met Sai Krishnas maternal uncles, Mullapudi Navarang and Nageswara Rao and tried to reach a compromise by offering money, but they refused.

YSRCP protest, teachers counter-protest at SAAP office spark tension
Digital Desk | Vijayawada, Sep 21 (IANS) The YSR Congress Party protest at the SAAP office here on Monday, demanding the resignation of Andhra Pradesh Education Minister Nara Lokesh over alleged irregularities in the appointment of teachers, triggered tension as newly recruited teachers resorted to a counter-protest. The opposition party had called for a protest at the office of the Sports Authority of Andhra Pradesh (SAAP) to highlight alleged irregularities in the appointment of teachers under the sports quota and to demand Lokesh's resignation and a thorough CBI probe into Mega DSC. Teachers appointed under the sports quota also reached the SAAP office to counter what they called false propaganda against them and to submit a memorandum to the SAAP authorities. Both the groups raised slogans against each other and nearly came to blows. The area remained tense for nearly two hours. The teachers were inside the SAAP complex while YSRCP leaders staged a protest outside the gate. Police intervened to avert a clash by locking the gate. It detained several leaders and cadres of YSRCP. The opposition party alleged that workers of the ruling Telugu Desam Party (TDP), masquerading as teachers, attacked its cadres. Police erected barricades and prevented protesters from reaching the SAAP office, leading to tense scenes at Labbipet. Police resorted to a lathi-charge while dispersing YSRCP protesters, and several leaders and activists were detained, it said. YSRCP leaders said the protest was peaceful and questioned why the government was using police force instead of ordering an independent investigation into the recruitment process. Party PAC member and former Vinukonda MLA Bolla Brahmanaidu joined the protest and demanded a comprehensive CBI probe to establish the facts and ensure justice to deserving DSC candidates. The party said persons linked to the TDP entered the SAAP premises posing as teachers and attacked YSRCP activists and student-wing leaders with sticks, leaving several injured. YSRCP charged that police failed to prevent the clashes and instead used force against its workers. Police also stopped YSRCP leaders travelling to Vijayawada from different districts. Former minister Ambati Rambabu, Vanama Bala Vajrababu, Ambati Muralikrishna, Noori Fatima and others were intercepted near Kaza Toll Plaza and taken to Pedakakani Police Station. Jakkampudi Raja, Perni Krishna Murthy, Nagarjuna Yadav, and others were detained at Krishnalanka Police Station after participating in the DSC protest. YSRCP spokesperson Konda Rajiv said that instead of answering questions of aspirants, the coalition government misused police force to detain party leaders and cadres We would like to ask Chandrababu Naidu if Andhra Pradesh is under democratic rule or dictatorial Red Book rule. He alleged that the coalition government was following the agenda of evading evidence, intimidating dissenters and resorting to violence. Such repression cant bury the truth. We will intensify protest and fight hard in a better way until justice is delivered to each and every eligible and meritorious candidate and until and unless every culprit candidate is held accountable, he said.

Seven held for 'purification' after protest near KCR's farmhouse in Telangana
Digital Desk | Hyderabad, Sep 15 (IANS) Telangana Police have arrested seven people in a case relating to the alleged purification of roads at Erravalli near the farmhouse of BRS president and former Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao in Siddipet district. A former sarpanch of Vardarajpur village and six leaders of Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) were taken into custody on Monday from a lodge in Vijayawada in neighbouring Andhra Pradesh. The accused were brought to Gajwel and produced before a magistrate, who then sent them to judicial custody for 14 days. Subsequently, they were shifted to Siddipet jail. The accused had allegedly performed 'purification' rituals, using turmeric water, on September 9. The 'purification' was done a day after Congress workers and Dalit organisations held a Chavu-Dappu (funeral drum-beating) protest in the area. The protest by Congress workers and Dalit organisations was against alleged derogatory and abusive remarks by two BRS MLCs against Telangana Assembly Speaker Gaddam Prasad Kumar. Following the protest, BRS workers sprinkled turmeric water on the roads and other areas through which the protesters had passed. The alleged 'purification' had sparked a huge controversy with the ruling Congress party demanding strong action over what it called 'insult' to Dalits. On a complaint by local Congress leaders, police registered a case and took up the investigation. Forensic evidence was collected as part of the investigation. Police had been on the lookout for the accused, finally tracing them to a lodge in Vijayawada after one of them switched on his mobile phone. The protest by Congress workers and Dalit organisations near KCR's farmhouse had followed the September 7 incident at the Assembly gate. During the scuffle between BRS legislators and police, two BRS MLCs had allegedly made certain derogatory and abusive remarks against Speaker Gaddam Prasad Kumar. Both the MLCs were booked and arrested the next day. However, a court had ordered their release the same day.
