Cong Leader to meet Digvijay over road rage incident

Hyderabad, July 20 (UNI) Senior Congress Leader and MLA P Janardhana Reddy today said he would meet In-charge of party affairs in Andhra Pradesh Digvijay Singh on the recent road rage incident involving his family members and Chief Minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy's brother and his nephew.

Addressing the press here, Mr Reddy said he had already briefed him (Mr Singh) about the incident in which his son was arrested under Section 307 (attempt to murder) and his subsequent release on bail, on a complaint lodged by Chief Minister's brother Y S Raveender Reddy.

Mr Janardhana Reddy had earlier postponed his indefinite hunger strike, scheduled for July 16, on the advice of the High Command, demanding the suspension of Deputy Commissioner of Police, (West Zone), Madhusudhana Reddy and the arrest of Mr Raveender Reddy on similar charges.

However, the police had dropped the cases filed by Mr Janardhana Reddy's wife against Mr Raveender Reddy stating there was no truth in it.

He expressed hope that the High Command would do ''justice'' to him on the issue.
