At least seven people died and several others were injured when they fell in a drain on Wednesday during a roadshow being held by TDP president and former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu in Kandukur town of Nellore district.
The tragedy occurred when thousands of people turned up for the TDP’s outreach programme called ‘Idhemi Karma’ and fell in a drain while navigating a narrow lane. This led to a stampede-like situation.
