A shocking incident in Chittoor district has triggered intense debate after a viral video showed a YSRCP leader being attacked with a slipper in public. The episode has quickly turned into a political flashpoint across Andhra Pradesh.
Slipper Attack Near Tirupati Creates Uproar
The incident took place near Upparapalli, on the outskirts of Tirupati. YSRCP Publicity Wing Working President Hariprasad Reddy was travelling in a car with a woman when another vehicle suddenly blocked their path.
Soon after, a man stepped out and confronted them. Eyewitnesses say the situation escalated within minutes. The man allegedly dragged the woman out of the car and assaulted her. Moments later, he turned towards Hariprasad Reddy and hit him repeatedly with a slipper.
As a result, the scene drew attention from passersby, while several people recorded the incident on their phones.
Alleged Personal Dispute Behind the Attack
Local sources claim the attacker is the woman’s husband. They also suggest that suspicion over a personal relationship led to the confrontation. The attacker reportedly believed that Hariprasad Reddy maintained an inappropriate relationship with his wife.
Moreover, reports indicate that the attacker holds a local YSRCP position as a sarpanch in a nearby village. After the assault, he allegedly damaged the car before taking the woman away from the scene.
Viral Video Triggers Political Reactions
Meanwhile, videos of the incident flooded social media platforms. As the footage spread, political discussions intensified across the state. Several users questioned the conduct of public representatives, while others demanded action regardless of party affiliation.
Importantly, the incident surfaced at a time when Andhra Pradesh politics already faced criticism over recent controversies involving leaders from different parties.
No Police Complaint Filed So Far
Despite the public assault and widespread attention, Hariprasad Reddy has not filed a formal police complaint yet. Because of this, police officials have not registered a case so far.
However, the silence has not slowed public reaction. Social media users continue to debate the incident, with many calling for accountability and a thorough inquiry.
Growing Pressure on Political Parties
Overall, the slipper attack has added fuel to the already heated political climate in the state. While authorities await an official complaint, public pressure continues to mount.
