The MLC, also known as Anantha Babu, was detained in May on suspicion of killing his former driver Subrahmanyam. On the evening of May 19, the deceased fell and died as a result of being pushed by him during an argument. The MLCA also instructed cops to injure Subrahmanyam's body in order to depict it as a victim of a car accident. The driver's family, however, did not accept his account and reported the incident to the police. Anantha Babu was expelled from the ruling party following his arrest.
