Scuffle at Annamayya Toll Plaza: TDP MLA's Followers Allegedly Assault Workers

An altercation occurred at the Gandaboyinapalle toll plaza when followers of TDP MLA A Surendra Babu allegedly assaulted workers due to a delay in passing his vehicle. A video of the incident has gone viral, showing the MLA's security personnel and affiliates physically attacking toll staff.

The incident was sparked when the MLA's vehicle was halted at the toll gate on the route between Tirumala and Madanapalle. The plaza's manager explained the delay was caused by two vehicles ahead making online payments, which the staff were managing at the time.

As tensions escalated, the attackers vandalized the toll plaza infrastructure and physically assaulted the workers, including dragging a female staff member by her hair. Police have registered a case and investigations are ongoing to address the situation.
