After FIR against TDP MLA for abduction of Bengaluru businessman, police clarify he was detained by Andhra Pradesh police

In connection with an alleged abduction case in Bengaluru, the City Police clarified on Monday that businessman Raviprakash was not abducted, but detained by the Andhra Pradesh police. The incident occurred on August 30 when Raviprakash, 65, and his wife Sabina were traveling in their car around 10:15 a.m. Four vehicles without number plates reportedly blocked their path.

According to the wife's complaint, 10-15 men pulled Dr. Raviprakash out of the car, assaulted him, and dragged him into another vehicle. Sabina alleged she was also assaulted when she tried to intervene, and one of the accused kicked her in the stomach and slapped her. The couple claimed the incident was captured on CCTV cameras at their residence.

When they attempted to lodge a complaint, one of the vehicles returned, and its occupants threatened them against approaching the police. The FIR names Putta Sudhakar, the Andhra Pradesh TDP MLA, and unidentified persons as accused in the alleged abduction. However, senior police officials stated that Dr. Raviprakash was taken by the Andhra Pradesh police in connection with a case registered at Mydukur Police Station.

The 5th accused in the case, Dr. Raviprakash, was involved in a long-standing legal dispute over a 14-acre property in RR Nagar with Putta Sudhakar. Further details about the case and his detention are awaited.
