In a major development, MLA Pinnelli Ramakrishna Reddy has approached the Andhra Pradesh High Court seeking anticipatory bail in the case of vandalizing an EVM during the state elections. Following orders from the Central Election Commission to arrest Pinnelli and his followers, a massive search operation was launched by the police across both Telugu states.
As the police continued their two-day hunt for Pinnelli, the MLA decided to seek anticipatory bail to avoid arrest. The Andhra Pradesh High Court has agreed to hear his petition, and arguments are currently underway.
During the court proceedings, Pinnelli’s lawyer highlighted that the entire incident was triggered by a video posted on Twitter by Telugu Desam Party leaders. The lawyer argued that the allegations against Pinnelli and his brother were baseless and urged the court to grant them anticipatory bail.
The case has now become a significant topic of discussion, with the police actively trying to apprehend Pinnelli and his brother. The outcome of the anticipatory bail petition will be closely watched as the legal battle unfolds in the Andhra Pradesh High Court.
