Parveen Babi narrated the incidents that unfolded on February 25, “The shopkeepers objected to the orders to remove the encroachments at the temple premises. Our councillor was also present.
When she spoke to the CI regarding the same, he used vulgar language at her. It has been captured on video.” The same day, Telugu Mahila marched towards the CI’s house at NGO Colony in
Kadiri town. “CI Madhu, along with two male constables carrying lathis, arrived even before we reached his house. Women dispersed after he hit them. I saw some of the journalists also being
hit,” she said. Opposition parties took to the streets in Kadiri at 8.30 pm on the same day and raised slogans demanding justice. Videos that circulated in the media showed several police
officers charging at men on the street even as Madhu, jumping atop a van's bonnet, dared the crowd to approach him.
