The Kadapa Police conducted a raid at the residence of C.M. Ramesh, a Member of Parliament (MP) of the Telugu Desam Party (TDP,) in Potladutti of Kadapa district, Andhra Pradesh.
On the 5th of April, approximately 50 policemen entered the house of Ramesh and conducted the raids. The police allegedly entered the MP’s house and started searching the place without any search warrant.
According to sources, the raids were conducted upon the orders of the Kadapa Superintendent Police (SP,) after the Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress Party (YSRCP) complained about the TDP member.
However, the Police team went empty handed, as they did not find any illegal items at the residence of C.M. Ramesh.
