Coming down heavily on the State government for going slow on the case, Shilpa Reddy said there were allegations that some big names in film industry and ruling party leaders were involved in the case, hence the government was not taking serious steps to punish the guilty. As the Home Ministry was under Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, he had to tell the people of the State why the government was trying to shield the accused.
