A coordinated arson attack near Pulivendula left multiple vehicles completely destroyed in the early hours, raising concerns over pre-election violence in the region. The incident took place around midnight near an orchard owned by local resident Madhusudhan Reddy, where three automobiles, ten two-wheelers and one tractor were set ablaze.
The scale of destruction suggests deliberate targeting rather than an isolated incident. Authorities have launched an investigation into the matter, though no arrests have been reported. The timing of the incident, occurring ahead of scheduled polls, has drawn attention from election observers and local law enforcement.
Police are examining whether the arson is linked to political tensions or personal disputes. Surveillance footage, if available, may provide leads to identifying the perpetrators. The incident underscores ongoing security concerns in certain pockets of Andhra Pradesh during the election season.
