Cops question Ambati

Kakinada: YSR Congress Party leader and former minister Ambati Rambabu appeared before the Kirlampudi police in Kakinada district in connection with a case registered against him for allegedly obstructing police personnel from discharging their duties during the funeral of former minister Mudragada Padmanabham.

The police questioned Ambati for around one-and-a-half hours at the police station. After the inquiry, speaking to the media, Ambati said appearing at a police station was nothing new to him.

He alleged that police personnel had acted in an overenthusiastic manner by attempting to offer a police salute near the mortal remains despite objections from members of Mudragada’s family. He said they had intervened and prevented the police from doing so.
