He further wrote in his tweet, “It has been alleged that YSRCP members are involved in the case. Their involvement must be probed impartially. Let’s ensure transparency and justice is served.”

Meanwhile, the Konaseema police registered a case of suicide under Section 174. They said the preliminary investigation showed that 20-year-old Shyam was weak in studies and also involved in a love affair.

The cops stated that the youth initially cut his wrist with a blade, which they found in his pocket, and then hanged himself in his house on 25 June. They also ruled out the involvement of YSR Congress Party members in the case.
