Kakani Govardhan Reddy, the former minister and district president of the Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress Party (YSRCP), led a protest at the Podalakur police station in Nellore district, Andhra Pradesh, demanding the suspension of Sub-Inspector Hanif. The protest was sparked by allegations that Hanif physically assaulted YSRCP leader Hari, who had confronted an Assistant Engineer about a ₹40,000 (approximately $480 USD) bribe for a farm connection. Reddy claimed that the SI threatened party workers and called for immediate action against him. Following assurances from the Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) to investigate the matter, Reddy ended the protest. He also warned that once the YSRCP returns to power, they would address grievances against officials who mistreat party members.
