Dharmavaram Congress MLA K Venkata Ramana Reddy, on Saturday, dismissed the statement of murder accused Bhanu Kiran that the latter had purchased fire-arms using the letterhead of former MLA late K Suryaprathap Reddy, Venkata Ramana Reddy's father.
Talking to media persons at the Congress Legislature Party Office, Venkata Ramana Reddy condemned Bhanu Kiran's confessional statement. He said that his father, Suryaprathap Reddy, never had any links with Bhanu Kiran, and that he was was dead at that time anyway.
He said that he had met CID Additional Director General S V Ramana Murthy at his office to find out what Bhanu Kiran had said about his father. He claimed that Ramana Murthy assured him that he has no clear evidence over Bhanu Kiran's statement over using his father's letterhead for the purchase of firearms.
"How could Bhanu Kiran use my father's letterhead, when he was dead at the time," he asked.
Stating that even Railway authorities do not reserve tickets on MLAs' letterhead, he asked how Bhanu Kiran could have got arms from a licensed shop using the method. (INN)
