Karimnagar Police registers case after BJP workers attack MLA Gangula Kamalakar camp office
The Karimnagar Police has initiated a high-level probe following a violent confrontation where BJP workers allegedly attacked the camp office of BRS MLA Gangula Kamalakar. The incident occurred in broad daylight while a press conference involving MLA Padi Kaushik Reddy and other party leaders was underway inside the premises. This escalation has led to heightened security across the city to prevent further clashes between rival political factions.
Destruction of property and incident details
According to the latest update, a mob of protesters carrying stones and sticks descended upon the camp office premises. The attackers reportedly targeted the building’s infrastructure, shattering window panes, damaging doors, and destroying office furniture.
The violence was not limited to the building alone; several cars and two-wheelers parked within the office compound were also vandalized during the ruckus. Eyewitness accounts suggest that the sudden nature of the assault left the staff and leaders inside the office in a state of brief confinement while the destruction continued outside.
Police investigation and preventive measures in Karimnagar
The Karimnagar police investigation into the identity of the attackers is currently utilizing available video evidence from the scene. Following the attack on the MLA's office, BRS supporters attempted a retaliatory move by marching toward the office of BJP MP Bandi Sanjay.
However, alert police personnel intercepted the BRS cadres before they could reach the location, effectively averting a secondary clash. An official statement from the department confirmed that additional forces have been deployed at key political offices and sensitive junctions to maintain law and order.
Case registered against perpetrators for vandalism
The local police station has confirmed that a case registered against several individuals allegedly involved in the stone-pelting and property damage. Authorities are currently scanning local CCTV footage to verify the sequence of events and identify the primary instigators of the violence.
Tensions remain high in Karimnagar as both political parties continue to trade allegations over the cause of the disturbance. The police have warned against any further gatherings or protests without prior permission as they continue to record the incident details from those present during the press meet.
