Chiranjeevi and 12 other Prajarajyam party leaders were booked under criminal case by Nampally criminal court yesterday.
The court directed Jubilee hills police were asked to book this case under section 306(Abetment to Suicide) on Chiranjeevi and co. for being indirectly responsible of abetting students in Telangana to commit suicides through their opposition to the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh.
In their petition, the petitioners stated that PRP leaders had extended support to Telangana statehood in 2009 during campaigning for the Assembly elections.
So, 12 other PRP leaders were also booked for turning their backs on their election stance.
“However, chiranjeevi and other PRP leaders later made a U-turn after Centre’s December 9 statement over Telangana and instead supported United Andhra Pradesh. Due to their acts and statements youths from Telangana region committed suicides… besides the people were cheated,” the petitioners complained to the court.
