Mon Feb 24 00:50:00 UTC 2025: **YCP Leader Caught in High-Tech Brothel Raid**
Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh: A prominent leader of the YSR Congress Party (YCP), Vaditya Shankar Nayak, a former member of the State Scheduled Tribes Commission, was arrested during a police raid on a high-tech brothel in a upscale area of Vijayawada. Nayak, reportedly a close associate of YCP chief Jagan Mohan Reddy, was found hiding under a bed in one of the rooms.
Police conducted the raid Friday night following a tip-off and video evidence provided by a young man. The brothel, operating under the guise of a spa called “Studio 09,” has been the subject of previous police investigations. While authorities raided the establishment two months ago, the operators apparently took precautions to avoid detection.
Nayak, known for his public pronouncements of support for students and tribal communities, allegedly resisted arrest and reportedly verbally abused officers. He has been listed as accused number 10 in the case. His arrest has sparked criticism, particularly in light of YCP’s public image and statements made by party leaders regarding their integrity. The incident raises questions about the actions of some party leaders. The investigation is ongoing.
