TDP supremo N Chandrababu Naidu on Monday demanded to know why Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy has not visited the family members of the minor boy who was burnt to death recently.
He posed the question during his visit to the victim's family in Bapatla district on Monday when he handed over financial assistance of Rs 10 lakh to them.
On Friday morning, Pamu Venkateswar Reddy (20), the prime accused, along with three other persons- Pamu Gopi Reddy (25), Mandela Veera Babu (20), and Tumma Sambi Reddy, waylaid the boy, thrashed him, poured petrol on him and set him ablaze for standing up to them when they harassed his sister.
