Vijayawada: Ruling YSRC has disassociated itself from a human trafficking case that has been busted in Missouri of the United States of America.
The US police have arrested three people, all natives of Andhra Pradesh, on charges of abusing, assaulting and enslaving a 20-year-old Telugu student.
Opposition parties in AP have alleged that all the three arrested are YSRC leaders.
In a statement here on Saturday, YSRC underlined that NRI Sattaru Venkatesh Reddy, who is accused in the human trafficking case in America, has no connection with the party.
“YSRC strongly condemns this incident. The crime committed by Sattaru Venkatesh Reddy is personal. The law will take its course,” the statement clarified.
AP government representative in North America P. Ratnakar has also denied allegations. "Criticising our party and the government is the strategy of Telugu Desam to defame YSRC government. YSRC is a law-abiding party. Law will deal with whoever the accused is. If the crime is proved, those involved will be punished," Ratnakar declared.
He went on to ask: "Does TD take responsibility for the crimes committed by its party activists and fans in their personal lives?”
Andhra Pradesh NRI Medical Affairs adviser Dr. Vasudeva Reddy Sattaru Venkatesh Reddy facing charges in America has nothing to do with YSRC. He remarked that wherever wrong things come to light in the world, some channels, along with TD, try and pin them to YSRC.
