YSRCP leader and former MLA Vallabhaneni Vamsi has faced a legal setback as the Andhra Pradesh High Court dismissed his anticipatory bail petition. The petition was filed in connection with the attack on the Gannavaram TDP office. After reviewing the case, the high court had reserved its verdict and announced its decision on Thursday, rejecting the plea.
Government's Argument Against Vamsi
- The government lawyer claimed that the TDP office at Gannavaram was raided on the initiative of Vallabhaneni Vamsi.
- The court was informed that cars were torched, and the attack was accompanied by mass panic.
- The victims protested as well, and the police, after that, registered a case but did not arrest the accused at that time.
- It was emphasized that the probe was diluted when YSRCP was at the helm of affairs.
- The attorney additionally opined that granting anticipatory bail would inhibit the investigation, which is ongoing.
Vamsi's Defense
- Vamsi's lawyers argued that the case was politically motivated and that the petitioner was not a party to the attack.
- They asserted that the allegations were meant to pin him down politically.
Recent Developments
It has been found that Vallabhaneni Vamsi was arrested a few days ago in connection with the kidnapping and beating of Dalit youth Satyavardhan. He is already under detention in Vijayawada district jail.
