TDP MLA and government whip Chintamaneni Prabhakar has allegedly assaulted a police personnel on duty at Denduluru in West Godavari district of Andhra Pradesh, police said on Monday.

Prabhakar, who represents Denduluru constituency and had last month submitted his resignation from the post sulking over denial of a cabinet berth. However, his resignation has not been accepted by the Assembly Speaker.
Late Sunday night, he went to Singavaram junction where police were diverting heavy vehicular traffic because of a village fair and allegedly questioned the move.
