However, Narasimha claimed that Inspector P Saidulu had been harassing him and threatening to register cases against him and his son.
‘I did no mistake’
Minutes before he died, Narasimha spoke to his family members saying that he had done no mistake in his service.
A video shot at the hospital has now gone viral now. Narasimha, who is close to retirement, said that from the beginning his superiors had confidence in him and never troubled him. “But Inspector Saidulu bore a grudge against me and used his men to fix me.
Based on that incident, he and constables threatened me and even circulated the video of incident to everyone. In the past, I purchased a bike in instalments. Recently I purchased a car. Since then, he was having a grudge against me and waited to take revenge,’’ he said.
