PULIVENDULA:
In a freak accident, an APSP constable who was on duty at the residence of chief
minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy's son Jaganmohan Reddy in Pulivendula died when
his gun misfired in the wee hours of
Wednesday.
Bulli Prakasam (30),
hailing from Abbavaram village in Veerapalli mandal of Kadapa district, died
after a bullet pierced through his chest when he ran for cover to escape the
pouring rain at around 4.30 am. Sources said the gun misfired as the cop along
with seven others, who were on duty at Jaganmohan Reddy's house, rushed to take
shelter near the verandah.
Prakasam was rushed to
Pulivendula area hospital but he was declared brought dead. The cop, who earlier
worked in the 11th battalion, was posted at Jagan's house five months ago. He is
survived by wife, a son and a daughter.
