Famous writer-producer, Kona Venkat is facing serious allegations after a SC-ST atrocity case was registered against him by the Karlapalem police in Bapatla district for allegedly assaulting a Dalit youth.
The incident occurred when SC leader Kathi Rajesh, along with his followers, resigned from YSRCP and joined TDP recently. YCP leaders accused Rajesh of owing them Rs. 8 lakh, leading to his arrest.
When Rajesh was brought to the police station, Kona Venkat, who was already present there, allegedly abused, threatened, insulted, and attacked him, along with SSI Janardhan.
Rajesh claims they targeted him because of his political switch. Consequently, a SC and ST atrocity case was filed against Kona Venkat, YCP leaders, and SSI Janardhan based on Rajesh’s complaint.
Kona Venkat’s association with the ruling party, YSRCP, adds complexity to the situation, given his uncle’s political ties as a YCP MLA.
His past criticisms of other political figures, including Pawan Kalyan, have also stirred controversy.
Now, with upcoming elections, tensions have escalated further, especially with the recent assault incident.
