A leader of the ruling Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS) leader P Srinivas Reddy was on Sunday caught on camera beating and abusing his first wife, Sangeetha, after she protested against his second marriage in front of his residence.

Based on Sangeetha's complaint, Medipally police registered a case against Srinivas under section 307, 290, 506 r/w 34 IPC of IPC and took him into custody.

Sangeetha had gone to Srinivas's house and protested his second marriage. When she tried to confront him and enter the house, she was attacked.

In a video shot by a member of Sangeetha's family, Srinivas is caught using abusive language and threatening her while his family members can be seen pulling her by her hair. Srinivas is also seen pushing Sangeetha down on the floor.

Srinivas got married to Sangeetha four years ago and has a baby girl with her. Srinivas and his family have allegedly been harassing her since the girl was born.

On Sunday when Sangeetha found out that her husband had married Devi Jagadeeshwari in August with out even divorcing her, she and members of her family went to his house to confront him.

''After the marriage, her husband and in-laws started to mentally and physically harass her for more dowry. In July she had lodged a complaint against Srinivas in Chandanagar police which was registered under Cr No 570/2017 U/s 498(A) of IPC,'' said a police officer.
