Key Questions Answered
The attack stemmed from political rivalry and an old grudge after BJP leader Muniraju lost the 2021 Gram Panchayat elections to Raghavendra's wife, Ramya, as well as a dispute over a land encroachment complaint.
Raghavendra, his wife Ramya, and her mother Ambujamma sustained injuries and received treatment at a private hospital following the assault and the ransacking of their home and shop.
Muniraju and his gang attempted to put up a compound wall around an encroached government gomala at Koppa Survey No. 110, prompting Raghavendra to lodge a complaint with revenue officials including the Tahsildar.
