TN: Amar Prasad Reddy Denied Bail In Case For Allegedly Damaging JCB Machine Brought To Remove BJP Flag Pole Near Annamalai's Residence
Amar Prasad Reddy
Amar Prasad Reddy, who leads the BJP's Sports and Skill Development cell and is the co-incharge of the En Mann En Makkal padayatra was denied bail in a case filed against him for allegedly damaging a JCB machine that was brought to remove a BJP flag pole outside the residence of BJP state president K Annamalai in Chennai's Panaiyur.
Earlier, he was granted bail by a court in Ambasamudram and Egmore. While the case in Ambasamudram was related to an altercation with police during the padayatra, the latter was for pasting a picture of Prime Minister Narendra Modi over a photo of Chief Minister MK Stalin put up for the Chess Olympiad in Chennai.
He is yet to get bail in a case filed against him for an altercation with an assistant inspector during a BJP protest in Chennai's Nungambakkam.
Reddy's team is likely to appeal against the denial of bail in the flag pole removal case by approaching the Madras High Court.
His wife, Nirosha, had earlier filed a plea in the High Court, asking it to restrain the government from invoking the Goondas Act against her husband.
