Vijayawada, December 25: On the direction of a court, Nandigama Police in Krishna District of Andhra Pradesh has registered a case against Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) President K Chandrasekhara Rao for allegedly making a statement ‘which could cause fear in the minds of the people.’
Nandigama Additional Judicial First Class Magistrate K Salija, on December 23, directed the police to register a case against Mr Rao and hold an inquiry after hearing a petition filed by local advocate N Sriram Murthy to this effect.
