Srinivas is allegedly involved in to attack on the then YSRCP president Jagan Reddy at Visakhapatnam airport in October 2018.
Srinivas has been remanded for the last five years. The case has stalled due to Jagan, now the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, refusing to appear in court to present his version. Even though the NIA completed its investigation and confirmed that there was no political conspiracy in the case, the attack made it sensational.
