Pinnelli was jailed for destroying the EVMs in his constituency on the day of the election. After videos of Pinnelli entering polling booths and destroying the EVMs, and also physically assaulting TDP agents surfaced, a case was booked and he was sent to jail.
After 50 days in jail, Pinnelli was released on bail and he came out of the Nellore Central jail today.
However, YCP’s Twitter handle got a bit too excited about Pinnelli coming out and shared an unconventional caption to the video of him leaving jail premises.
“Former MLA Pinnelli Ramakrishna Reddy has come out of detention in illegal cases.” The caption read.
This quickly invited a series of trolls. An anguished social media user quoted “This MLA was caught destroying the EVM. There is a video of him physically picking up an EVM and smashing it to the ground. If so, how can it be an illegal case? What more proof is needed to file electoral charges?”
