Overview

• Andhra Pradesh High Court has granted interim protection to Jagan Mohan Reddy until July 1, restraining police from making arrests or taking other coercive measures in the case.
• Jagan is named as Accused No. 2 under Sections 105 (culpable homicide not amounting to murder) and 49 (abetment) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita in the death of supporter Cheeli Singaiah during a June 18 rally in Guntur district.
• Guntur police seized Jagan’s bulletproof Toyota Fortuner after reviewing CCTV and drone footage, correcting an earlier misidentification of a different vehicle.
• The YSRCP claims the case is driven by political vendetta and highlights alleged Z+ security lapses, while the TDP government denies targeting the opposition leader.
• The High Court will hear Jagan’s petition to quash the FIR on July 1 as the investigation into the hit-and-run continues and authorities gather additional evidence.
