<p data-start="78" data-end="356"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has been booked in a hit-and-run case, sparking major political uproar across the state. The FIR, filed on June 23, 2025, follows the death of a 65-year-old party worker who was run over by a vehicle in Reddy&rsquo;s convoy.</span></p>
<p data-start="358" data-end="795"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">The incident took place on June 18 in Guntur district, where Reddy was en route to Rentapalla village in Palnadu to meet the family of a party worker who had committed suicide the previous year. As his convoy passed through the Etukuru bypass, the crowd showered flowers to welcome him. Amid the celebration, a speeding SUV from the convoy struck and ran over Chilli Singhayya, a party supporter belonging to a Scheduled Caste community.</span></p>
<p data-start="797" data-end="1019"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">The injured Singhayya was rushed to the hospital but succumbed to his injuries during treatment. His wife later filed a complaint under Section 106(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), alleging death due to negligence.</span></p>
<p data-start="1021" data-end="1299"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Video footage of the incident quickly went viral, showing Jagan seated inside the car while it surged forward. In the footage, some people can be seen waving to stop the vehicle moments before Singhayya is hit. One clip clearly shows the car's front wheel rolling over his neck.</span></p>
<p data-start="1301" data-end="1576"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Based on the video evidence, Guntur Superintendent of Police S. Satish Kumar confirmed the registration of a First Information Report (FIR). Additional charges under BNS Section 105 (culpable homicide not amounting to murder) and Section 49 (incitement) have also been added.</span></p>
<p data-start="1578" data-end="1799"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">The FIR names multiple individuals from Reddy&rsquo;s entourage, including car driver Ramanna Reddy, personal assistant K. Nageshwar Reddy, former MP Y.V. Subba Reddy, former MLA Perni Nani, and former minister Vidadala Rajini.</span></p>
<p data-start="1801" data-end="2021"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">SP Satish Kumar stated, &ldquo;We have reviewed video footage and gathered eyewitness statements. The FIR has been filed accordingly, and all accused will be questioned. Strict action will be taken against those found guilty.&rdquo;</span></p>
<p data-start="2023" data-end="2241" data-is-last-node="" data-is-only-node=""><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">The incident has sparked political controversy, with opposition leaders accusing Jagan Mohan Reddy of negligence and demanding accountability. The case continues to attract public attention as investigations intensify.</span></p>
