Nalgonda, Dec 12: Uneasy calm prevailed in the district when the BJP activists attacked Inspector General of Police Rajiv Ratan at Yellareddiguda under Narketpally mandal on Wednesday. The BJP enforced district bandh in protest against an attack on one Hanuman Swamy and arrest of several Hanuman devotees in Nalgonda town on Tuesday. As part of bandh, BJP activists staged a rasta-roko at Yellareddiguda village adjoining Narketpally-Nalgonda road. Annoyed over the road blockade program, Rajiv Ratan, who was traveling on the same route to review bandh situation in the district, beat one of the activists when they obstructed the IG’s vehicle. In retaliation, the lathi-wielding activists attacked Rajiv Ratan, who was in plain clothes. As a result, the IG sustained simple injuries on his neck and hand in the attack. Alerted by the sudden attack on the IG, the police personnel stopped the agitators and escorted him from there. Ratan took treatment at the SP’s office in Nalgonda town and relaxed for a while. Later, accompanied by DIG and SP, he visited Nalgonda Old City. Speaking to the media after the review meeting on the situation prevailing in the district, Ratan said the situation was under control. He said the Narketpally police have registered a case against the youth who had attacked him. Meanwhile, the district wore a deserted look due to the total bandh. Business, commercial and educational institutions and petrol bunks remained closed. The police stopped the Hanuman devotees’ rally taken out from Ayyappa Temple in Ramagiri as prohibitory order under Section 144 Cr.P.C. was in force. In Miryalaguda town and several mandals in the district, the BJP activists staged rasta rokos and took out processions. | ||
