YSR Congress chief YS Jagan Mohan Reddy was attacked with a
knife by a 30-year-old restaurant worker at the airport in Andhra
Pradesh’s Visakhapatnam on Thursday, which his party said was pre-planned and
accused the state government of failing to provide security to the leader of
the opposition.
Reddy was on his way to Hyderabad to attend the weekly trial in
a case against him, when the attacker, later identified as Janipalli Srinivasa
Rao, came to him to serve coffee.
“After serving the coffee, the man requested for a selfie with
Jagan. As the YSRC president was obliging his request, he took out a
sharp-edged knife from his pocket and attacked an unsuspecting Jagan. The knife
pierced into Jagan’s left arm,” Andhra Pradesh’s director general of police RP
Thakur said while speaking to the media later.
“Immediately, CISF (Central Industrial Security Force) assistant
commandant Dinesh Kumar and Jagan’s gunmen responded quickly, overpowered the
assailant and handed him over to the CISF security personnel,” Thakur said.
