Based on the complaint, police visited the spot and enquired about the incident.

On the other hand, the site engineer filed a counter complaint stating that Machaiah prevented their works and abused him with filthy language. RDO officials stalled Machaiah’s compensation due to a mismatch of his survey number, he informed to police.
