: With the three main accused in the Tuni arson case getting bail in the Pithapuram First Additional District Court on Monday evening, the stage is set for final round of talks with fasting Kapu leader Mudragada Padmanabham.
On the 12th day, the health condition of Mr. Padmanabham and his wife continued to cause concern with their blood sugar and ketone levels fluctuating.
BJP MLA Akula Satyanarayana, who is mediating between Mr. Padmanabham-the Kapu Joint Action Committee and emissaries of the government, said talks could resume on Tuesday. “More than that, I am worried about the couple’s health as they are not agreeing to shift to a private hospital,” he said.
On Sunday and Monday, a cardiologist from a private hospital conducted tests on the couple and submitted a report to the district Collector in the evening.
RGH Superintendent Ramesh Kishore said the government had directed them to shift the couple to a private hospital if their condition worsened.
The advocate for Akula Ramakrishna, Nalla Vishnu and Vasireddy Yesudas moved bail papers in the court at Pithapuram and Gayathri, the in-charge judge, granted bail after hearing arguments.
