Kadapa district’s Pulivendula police have registered a case under the SC/ST Atrocities Act against YSRCP social media in-charge Sajjala Bhargav Reddy. The case follows a complaint from Simhadripuram Mandal resident Hari, who accused Bhargav Reddy and two others of caste-based harassment.
The complaint also names Arjun Reddy, who manages YSRCP’s social media, and Varra Ravindra Reddy, who is reportedly evading police. Pulivendula town police confirmed that cases were filed against all three under non-bailable sections.
Hari’s complaint alleges that Ravindra Reddy has been posting content on social media targeting critics of Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy for the past five years. He claims that he was subjected to caste-based insults when he questioned these posts. Police are currently investigating the matter.
