YSRCP Protests at Andhra Pradesh DGP Office Over Dalit Activist's Killing

Party leaders say they were denied a DGP meeting, seeking a high-level probe into Manda Salman's death.

Overview

YSRCP leaders staged a dharna outside the state police chief's office after being refused an appointment to submit a complaint on the killing of activist Manda Salman.
An Additional DGP accepted the party's representation after the protest, according to the leaders.
Former minister Merugu Nagarjuna alleged a "government-sponsored murder" and called for a CBI investigation.
Party leaders accused police of failing to file a proper FIR, booking a case against the deceased, and obstructing access to the body and burial rites.
YSRCP said it will move the High Court through a PIL, demanded Rs 1 crore compensation for Salman's family and action against MLA Yarapathineni Srinivas Rao, and linked the killing to what it calls 'Red Book rule' after earlier statewide protests urging SC/ST Atrocities Act action.
