Visakhapatnam: Nellimarla police on Thursday registered a case against former Union minister and TD leader P. Ashok Gajapathi Raju, responding to a formal complaint lodged by the state endowment officials at Ramatheertham in Vizianagaram district.
Nellimarla circle inspector Satya Mangaveni said, “We have registered a case under Section 353 for obstructing a government servant in discharging duties. It is a bailable offence.”
Endowment officials lodged the complaint against Raju for allegedly creating a ruckus at the government’s official foundation laying ceremony for redeveloping the Ramatheertham temple on Wednesday. State endowments minister Vellampalli Srinivas and the state’s urban minister Botsa Satyanarayana were among other ministers and YSRC leaders present at the ceremony.
