In January 2016, demanding reservation for Kapus, a large-scale meeting was organized under the leadership of the kapu movement leader Mudragada.
At that time, some thugs attacked the Ratnachal train going from Vijayawada to Visakhapatnam. The train wagons were set on fire.
At the time it led to a big scandal. An FIR has been registered against several persons under sections 146, 147, 153, and 174 of the Railway Act in connection with the incident. A case has been registered against Mudragada Padmanabhan and Sudhakar Naidu.
Recently, the Vijayawada Railway Court has given a shock to the accused, including the Kapu movement leader, Mudragada Padmanabham in the Tuni train burning incident in East Godavari district.
The court issued summons to the accused to appear in court on March 3 this year.
