Inspector of police injured during BRS protest in Khammam

An inspector of police was injured during a protest by the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) in Khammam on Sunday.

Khammam Two-Town Circle Inspector Karunakar suffered a fracture in his left hand in a mild scuffle that broke out during the BRS’s protest against the Special Investigation Team (SIT)’s notice to the party founder and former Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao, police said.

The incident occurred when the police tried to foil an attempt by the BRS cadres to set ablaze the effigy of Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy during the protest demonstration.

The Khammam two-town police registered a case against several protesters and launched a detailed investigation.

Earlier, the BRS cadres took out a motorcycle rally before staging a demonstration in the city.
