Chandrababu Naidu’s security men called the local police and handed him over for grilling. They reportedly detained him while he was moving suspiciously near Naidu’s camp. However, there was sigh of relief at the end of a twohour long grilling session in which the police found the man to be a naturopath who was carrying the axe and sickle to fetch the roots and bark of medicinal plants in the nearby areas.
According to police sources, the 70-year old Koyyaraju of Palem village in Nalgonda district was said to be an ardent admirer of Chandrababu Naidu. He reportedly came to Vijayawada to purchase some herbs four days ago and learnt about Naidu’s tour in the district. He reportedly reached Mopidevi village two days ago and was following the convoy with the hope of meeting Naidu somewhere during his walkathon.
He reportedly told the police that he had come to meet Naidu to seek his help. After verifying certificates and some herbs in his bag, the police let him off. Koyyaraju was also found to be having a hearing impairment and was carrying all certificates including an Aarogyasri health card.
