Kothagudem police arrested Vanama Raghavendra Rao, the son of TRS MLA Vanama Venkateswara Rao who is facing charges for his role in the Ramakrishna family suicide case in Palvoncha.
Vanama Raghava as he is known in the district was said to be absconding after the selfie video of the victim came to light. Two special teams were formed to trace Raghavendra Rao and he was apparently arrested by the police last night.
However, both the Hyderabad and Kothagudem police have not confirmed the arrest. Kothagudem police have pasted notices at Raghavendra’s residence in his hometown which was locked.
It is rumoured that his father Venkateswara Rao handed him over to the police at the behest of TRS leaders convincing him to do so. Apparently, Raghava wanted to hold a media conference.
The police, who have been in touch with the MLA since this morning, allegedly arrested Raghava before he could do so.
