Though after the Election Commission of India (ECI) ordered for immediate arrest of Macherla YCP MLA Pinnelli Ramakrishna Reddy and his brother, who were exposed of involvement in EVM breaking incident and special police teams are after him, sources stating that with the help of some key police officials only Pinnelli brothers able to escape from Telugu states.
Even before going on a foreign tour after Pinneli explained the situation in Macherla, Chief Minister YS Jaganmohan Reddy has reportedly assigned the task of saving him to some key officials. A senior IPS officer, besides a senior IAS officer, who are known for their proximity with Tadepalli palace are said to be monitoring his `escape journey’.
It is believed that news was spread on Wednesday evening about the arrest of Pinnelli brothers intentionally to divert the attention of the ECI and others. In fact, in the car, which was chased away by a special team led by Gurazala DSP, no one saw the presence of Pinnella brothers.
It seems after he was kept under house arrest on the evening of the polling day, with the help of the local police only he and his brother Venkatarami Reddy escaped to Hyderabad. With the exposure of video showing him breaking an EVM, he sensed that his arrest would be imminent.
On the advice of senior police officers only, he is believed to have escaped to Tamil Nadu and is planning to go to some foreign country. A key person in a news channel also reportedly helped him in escaping from Macherla and later in Hyderabad. A key politician in Telangana government, who is close to CM Jagan also said to be providing assistance to Pinnella brothers.
Now, focus is going on who is really providing him advance information on police movements? Who are key officials advising him on how to escape from arrest? It became a challenge for the both ECI and also the AP Police to arrest him.
