Parkal MLA Ch Dharma Reddy and L Vijayavardhan Reddy were arrested on Friday for allegedly trying to influence the voters of Gajwel Assembly Constituency by distributing cash, thus violating the Code of Conduct.
Acting on a tip-off, a team under the supervision of Medchal inspector M Prabhakar Reddy conducted a raid on Honey Berg resort at Yadaram Village in Medchal area and seized Rs 24.1 lakh cash, some printed model ballot papers in favour of BJP candidate Jagga Reddy and TDP scarves from an Innova vehicle (AP 23 N 6699). The police also seized voter lists of Gajwel constituency from room no 101 of the resort where Dharma Reddy was camping for the past two days.
