Telugu Desam Party (TDP) MLA Budda Rajasekhar Reddy and his followers allegedly attacked forest department staff in the Nekkanti Range of Dornala Mandal late on Tuesday night.

It is reported that the incident took place near Srisailam Shikhara, where forest officials Ramanayak, Guravaiah, Mohan Kumar, and Kareemulla were on duty.

The Andhra Pradesh Junior Forest Officers Association condemned the assault and demanded that an SC/ST Atrocity case be registered against the MLA.
