HYDERABAD: An 18-year-old hotel management student has been apprehended for allegedly damaging Congress leader V Hanumantha Rao's car parked in front of his house at Amberpet on Wednesday night. The accused, a neighbour of Rao, was angry with the staff of the Congress leader for asking him not to play cricket on the terrace.
V Hanumantha Rao on Thursday tweeted that unknown offenders damaged his car. Amberpet police examined CCTV footage near the spot and noticed that a youngster from a neighbouring house came out in the night with a frying pan in his hand. In the footage, it is clearly visible that the offender, waited for some time and slammed the pan into the front window of the car.
