Andhra Police Seize Bulletproof Vehicle After YSRCP Activist Crushed in Convoy Incident Near Tadepalle

Police File FIR Against Jagan in Death of Supporter, Triggering Political Firestorm

The tragedy took place during a crowded roadshow from Tadepalle to Sattenapalli, where Jagan’s supporters had gathered in huge numbers. According to police investigations and video evidence, the vehicle involved—a Tata Safari SUV equipped with bulletproof protection and registered for Jagan’s use—was allegedly responsible for running over the victim. The Guntur Police confirmed that the car bore a government-issued bulletproof status and was indeed part of the official convoy.

The FIR was filed under Section 105 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (culpable homicide) and names not only Jagan but also his driver Ramana Reddy, PA Nageshwar Reddy, and senior YSRCP leaders. Police say the footage clearly shows the deceased under the wheels of the vehicle, shifting the case from accidental death to criminal liability.

In response, YSRCP leaders have slammed the FIR as “vendetta politics”, accusing the TDP-led government of using the tragedy to target political rivals. Jagan’s team initially claimed that the vehicle was private, not part of his official convoy. But forensic checks contradicted that claim, and the car was seized for investigation.

Meanwhile, the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) has hit back hard, stating that Jagan did not stop the rally even after the man was crushed, calling it the height of political insensitivity. The incident has gone viral, sparking mass debate and raising concerns about crowd management and VIP security protocols.
