Vijayawada, February 25, 2025 – Former MLA Vallabhaneni Vamsi Mohan was questioned by Patamata police on Tuesday in connection with the alleged kidnapping and coercion of a computer operator, M.

During Tuesday’s interrogation, police focused on the circumstances of the alleged kidnapping, the involvement of others, the reasons for the crime, Satyavardhan’s whereabouts during his detention, and the nature of the threats issued. Medical examinations were conducted on Vamsi before and after the questioning.
