more-in The Congress on Monday stepped up its tirade against the State government claiming that a false murder case was booked against its Warangal district president Nayini Rajender Reddy and two other party workers. Mr. Reddy and the other two — P. Sriman and Kanuganti Sekhar, an ex-corporator — were accused four to six respectively in the recent murder of TRS corporator A. Murali in Warangal. Jana speaks to DGP TPCC president N. Uttam Kumar Reddy shot off an open letter to Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao and Leader of Opposition K. Jana Reddy spoke over phone to Director-General of Police Anurag Sharma, saying the case exposed the vindictive attitude of the government in a bid to suppress Congress activists. Separately, five district presidents of Congress and some other party leaders held a meeting at the Gandhi Bhavan where it was decided to meet Mr. Sharma. In his letter to the Chief Minister, Mr. Uttam Kumar Reddy highlighted that the case was foisted under pressure from local TRS leaders. In the remand report filed by the police, it was shown that Mr. Rajender Reddy, Mr. Sriman and Mr. Sekhar had conspired to commit the murder in December 2015. It was pertinent to note that Mr. Rajender Reddy lost his only son who was an engineering student in a road accident in Hyderabad in November 2015. How could one conspire to commit a murder within a month of such tragic situation, he asked. Mr. Jana Reddy and two other senior leaders of Congress — T. Jeevan Reddy and Mohammed Ali Shabbir — told a press conference that Mr. Rajender Reddy was no way connected to the murder. This was substantiated by the admission of three persons who surrendered themselves in police station after attacking Murali with sickles.
