The BJP in a statement here alleged that Sai Ganesh attempted suicide in Khammam as he was "upset over police harassment and a rowdy sheet being opened at the behest of a (state) minister".
A police official, however, said the cases were proportionate to the acts committed by him and the charges were invoked as per the offences. Angered over the incident, the BJP workers during a protest at Khammam, allegedly broke the mirror of a public transport bus and a glass door of a hospital. They tried to burn a couple of flex banners but it was stopped, he added.
