Upon investigation, it was identified that the drone belonged to cameramen who had come to cover the wedding of YSRCP leader Abdul Faiz's son. Security personnel seized the drone and questioned its operators about why it was flown over the minister's residence. The cameramen reportedly failed to provide satisfactory answers, which angered the TDP workers, leading to a heated exchange.
The incident escalated when TDP workers accused the drone operators of deliberately flying the device over the minister’s premises. YSRCP workers, learning about the situation, condemned the TDP’s actions and allegedly behaved aggressively towards them. The altercation led to both groups filing complaints with the local police.
Former MLA Katasani Ramreddy, representing the YSRCP, visited the police station and demanded a case be registered against the TDP ranks, alleging they had attacked YSRCP workers. Meanwhile, TDP leaders filed their complaint, questioning the necessity of flying the drone near the minister’s house and alleging deliberate provocation.
The police accepted complaints from both sides and launched an investigation. In light of the ongoing tensions between Minister BC Janardhan Reddy’s group and former MLA Katasani Ramreddy’s faction, the drone incident has become a major topic of discussion in Banaganapalli.
The situation remains tense, with the authorities working to resolve the dispute and ensure no further escalation between the two political groups.
