Ten injured as MLA's son rams van with SUV

Ten persons sustained injuries when the van in which they were travelling was rammed by a vehicle driven by the son of Panyam MLA Katasani Rambhupal Reddy at Venkanna Bavi near Kurnool on Tuesday.

According to the victims, the MLA's son deliberately rammed his SUV Fortuner into their vehicle as the van driver did not give way for him to overtake. After hitting the van, the MLA's son, Katasani Narasimha Reddy, abandoned the vehicle and fled the scene. There was no one in the SUV other than the MLA's son.

It may be recalled that a student had filed a criminal case of intimidation against Katasani Narasimha Reddy when he was appearing for the recent Intermediate Pubic Examination after the latter threatened him for not 'cooperating' with him to write the examination.

The victims were taken to the Kurnool Government General Hospital, where their condition was said to be stable. YSR Congress leader Gowru Venkata Reddy, Rayalaseema Parirakshana Samiti president Byreddy Rajasekhar Reddy and others called on the victims at the hospital.
