In a letter to KCR, he further said, “In fact, I, along with CLP leader Bhatti Vikramarka had submitted a memorandum to the DGP but no action has been taken so far.”

”Inquiry should be conducted against local Mandal Revenue Officer (MRO), Revenue Divisional Officer (RDO), Circle Inspector (CI) and Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP),” he said. Reddy alleged that Kumar was acting beyond his powers at the behest of his political bosses.
