Kasibugga road accident case: ex-Minister’s son surrenders at police station
Arav, the son of former Minister Seediri Appalaraju, surrendered to police following a fatal road accident involving a shepherd in Srikakulam district. The case has sparked political tension, with opposition leaders alleging a smear campaign and the ruling party facing scrutiny over the investigation.
Why it matters
The incident highlights the intersection of local politics and law enforcement, where criminal investigations often become flashpoints for partisan conflict.
Former Minister and YSRCP senior leader Seediri Appalaraju’s son Arav has surrendered at the Kasibugga police station on Monday evening over his involvement in a road accident, which claimed the life of a 45-year-old man at the old National Highway road of Kasibugga of Srikakulam district on July 10.
The accused surrendered after police had shown prima facie evidence about the road accident that led to the death of a shepherd.
A tense situation prevailed as YSRCP leaders and activists gathered at the police station, and they urged the police not to file a case against Arav, claiming that he was not involved in the accident. However, Arav and his advocates asked the activists to maintain peace.
