Andhra jail undertrial dies of dengue, TDP leader fears 'conspiracy' to kill Chandrababu Naidu
Rajahmundry (Andhra Pradesh) [India], September 22 (ANI): An undertrial prisoner at the Rajahmundry Central Prison in Andhra Pradesh died due to dengue while undergoing treatment at the Kakinada government hospital on September 19, state police said.
Following the prisoner’s death, Telugu Desam Party (TDP) General Secretary Nara Lokesh has expressed concerns over the health of his father and TDP supremo Chandrababu Naidu who is lodged on remand in the same prison.
Nara Lokesh in a social media post on X on Thursday alleged that a conspiracy was hatched to eliminate Chandrababu Naidu in prison.
Prison Department DIG Ravi Kiran said "The prisoner, Ganjeti Weeravenkata Satya Narayana, had been on remand in Rajamahendravaram Central Jail since September 6 in a robbery case.”
"On September 6, Satyanarayana was remanded to Rajamahendravaram Central Jail in a robbery case and he was shifted to Rajamundry Government General Hospital due to heavy fever and vomiting. The doctor declared that he was attacked by dengue. Doctors suggested better treatment for him and shifted him to Kakinada GGH. He died in Kakinada GGH while undergoing treatment on September 19," said Ravi Kiran, DIG, Prison Department.
Nara Lokesh further posted that he suspected that a plan was being implemented by exposing Naidu to mosquitos so that the TDP supremo would also get vector-borne disease like dengue. (ANI)
