Nagarampalem police in Andhra Pradesh registered FIR in criminal cases against former chief minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, former Crime Investigation Department (CID) chief PV Sunil Kumar and former Intelligence Department chief PSR Anjaneyulu.
The complaint was by TDP MLA and former MP K Raghu Rama Krishna Raju who said he was threatened to be killed if he criticised then chief minister Jagan Mohan Reddy.
Police also booked retired police officer R Vijay Paul and former Guntur Government General Hospital superintendent G Prabhavati, the official said. Vijay Paul and Prabhavati have superannuated.
“Raju sent his police complaint through mail one month ago and after taking legal opinion, I registered a case at 7 pm on Thursday (11 July) against the former CM and others,” the official told PTI.
Sunil Kumar reacted to the FIR and wrote on X, “Why is a new FIR registered in a case which had run for three years in Supreme Court and received its verdict.”

According to the complaint, Raju was arrested by CID officials in Hyderabad in 2021.
“The officials did not produce him before the local magistrate in Hyderabad nor obtained a transit arrest warrant, instead transferring him directly to the CID office in Guntur,” the complaint said.
In his complaint, Raju made severe allegations, stating that some police officers, along with PV Sunil Kumar IPS, Anjaneyulu IPS and other police subordinates, came to the CID office and “beat him with rubber belts and sticks”.
He alleged that they did not even allow him to take medicines for his heart ailment, despite knowing that he had undergone heart bypass surgery.
Police booked the five accused persons under IPC Sections 120 B, 166, 167, 197, 307, 326, 465 and 506 read with 34. Police invoked the Indian Penal Code (IPC) as the case is three years old.
