The witnesses in the case are Dasoju Shravan, Balka Suman and Satyavati Rathod. I’ve known them for 18 years. After seeing Konda Surekha’s comments on TV, they called me and told me. Surekha’s comments hurt my reputation,” he said. In his statement, KTR said Konda Surekha had made such comments to harm him and the BRS party. The court posted the matter for further hearing on October 30.
