The police registered the FIR against the then CID chief P. V. Sunil Kumar, the then Intelligence chief Seetharamanjaneyulu, the then Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy, the then Additional SP R. Vijaya Paul, the then Superintendent of Government General Hospital Guntur, Prabhavati et al.
The First Information Report (FIR) was registered at the Nagarampalem police station.
The MLA from Undi constituency in West Godavari district had last month complained to the Guntur superintendent of police, alleging attempt to murder, custodial torture and criminal conspiracy against him during the YSR Congress Party regime.
He had named the then Chief Minister Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, Sunil Kumar, Seetharamanjaneyulu and Vijay Paul as accused in the complaint against him.
Raju was elected to the Lok Sabha on the YSR Congress Party ticket from Narsapuram in 2019, but later became a rebel.
Raju was arrested on May 14, 2021 from his residence in Hyderabad in a sedition case. He was booked for speaking against the government and allegedly instigating communal riots in the state.
The then-deputy alleged that he was detained without due process. He claimed there was no medical examination or compliance with proper legal procedures.
Raju said that though he was recovering from heart surgery, he was neither medically examined nor produced before a court in Hyderabad. He alleged that he had been intimidated, physically put into a police vehicle and forcibly taken to Guntur that same night.
He alleged that he was kept in the CB-CID office and there was an attempt on his life during police custody. He alleged that Sunil Kumar, Seetharamanjeyulu and others beat him with a rubber belt and lathi and did not allow him to take medicine.
The author said that, despite knowing quite well that he had undergone bypass surgery, some people sat on his chest and applied pressure, thus attempting to kill him. He alleged that they took his phone and beat him until he revealed the phone's password. He said Sunil Kumar threatened to kill him if he criticized the then Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy.
Raju also alleged that the then superintendent of Guntur Government General Hospital had given a false report about his injuries at the behest of the police.
Raju had complained against Sunil Kumar to the Union Home Ministry that same year. However, the Ministry of Home Affairs forwarded the complaint to the state government.
Raju resigned from the YSRCP in February this year and joined the TDP in April. The party elected him from the Undi constituency and won the elections held in May.
With the TDP-led NDA government coming to power, Raju lodged a fresh complaint and the police initiated action against the officials allegedly involved.
