Anchor Pradeep's appeal video against drunken driving surfaces

Popular TV anchor Pradeep Machiraju is hogging the limelight for wrong reasons.

The anchor, famous for his celebrity chat show 'Konchem Touch Lo Unte Cheputa,' was recently arrested in a drunken drive case on New Year eve at Jubilee Hills road. 

The Breathe analyzer tests recorded the blood alcohol content at 178 as against the permissible 35.

Interestingly, Pradeep had recorded a video on traffic awareness a day before his arrest. The advertisement which has now gone viral has the anchor asking people not to drink and drive. In the video, Pradeep speaks against rash, irresponsible driving and exhorts the youth to separate drinking and driving.
