Police in Guntur, Andhra Pradesh, have registered a case against former minister and YSR Congress Party leader Ambati Rambabu and others for unlawful assembly and threatening police officers on duty. Rambabu and his supporters held a rally without police permission, and when stopped, allegedly threatened police officials. The case has been filed at Pattabhipuram Police Station under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), including assaulting or using criminal force against public servants to prevent them from performing their duties, Section 126(2) – wrongful restraint, Section 351(3) – criminal intimidation, and Section 189(2) – unlawful assembly.
Authorities noted that the unauthorized rally disrupted traffic and inconvenienced the public. Police stated that Rambabu was informed by DSP Arvind and CI Ganga Venkateshwarlu that the rally lacked permission, yet he and his supporters proceeded, attempting to remove barricades and arguing with the police. Similar cases have been filed against Rambabu in the past during YSRCP-led protests on various issues.
The rally was part of a statewide protest by YSRCP against the privatization of medical colleges. YSRCP president and former Chief Minister Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy expressed support on X, highlighting the public’s strong opposition. He said the massive rallies across all 175 constituencies reflect the collective voice of the people and praised citizens, YSRCP cadre, leaders, and like-minded organizations for standing united to defend public education and healthcare. He emphasized that people value social welfare over private gain and are determined to safeguard the state’s future.
Jagan Mohan Reddy added that despite police attempts to stop the rallies, people participated peacefully and courageously, demonstrating the democratic spirit of the state. He demanded that Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu respect public sentiment and immediately withdraw the decision to privatize medical colleges.
