According to the pre-arranged plan, he used petrol, two mosquito coils tied with plastic rope and set them up so that the campaign vehicle would burn.

City YSRCP president Adapa Srihari lodged a police complaint about the incident. An FIR was registered on July 2.

East Godavari District SP P Jagadeesh said that Bommuru police have been entrusted with the responsibility of investigating the case under supervision of East Zone DSP Kishore. Sivaji was identified as the suspect after examining the CCTV camera footage and other technical evidence.
