Boyapati however condemn these allegations saying that he is not present in Rajahmundry that day. “I was called to design the Nithya Harathi. I went to Hyderabad completing my work and I am not in Rajahmundry when that incident happened. My heart goes for victims and their families. I do not have any relation with the National Geographic channel documentary. I did not work for it”, Boyapati said to a TV channel.
