Hyderabad: Over the last five days, high drama has been taking place at the residence of YSRCP MLC from Srikakulam, Duvvada Srinivas, as his family members—wife and daughters—have been staging a dharna seeking entry into their house in Tekkali.
The family drama has all the elements of a movie, with the MLC's family members alleging adultery with a party worker and social media influencer. Unable to bear the online trolling after the episode, party worker, Divvela Madhuri, who now stays with Srinivas, attempted suicide and is currently being treated at a private hospital in Visakhapatnam.
Madhuri said that she was struggling with depression due to the "despair" caused by Srinivas' wife Vani and the online trolling that resulted from it, leading her to consider suicide.
Meanwhile, Srinivas lodged a complaint with local police, alleging threats to his life from family members—his wife and daughters—who he alleged tried to attack him at his house two days ago.
Vani, the wife of Srinivas and an ex-ZPTC member from a political family, claimed that her husband had abandoned them and moved in with Madhuri. Srinivas claimed that his wife's "neglect and insults" to his mother led him to abandon his family and move in with Madhuri.
The married social media influencer, on the other hand, claimed her family and in-laws abandoned her, so she moved in with Srinivas, whom she calls a friend, philosopher, and guide. Srinivas is 59 and Madhuri is 33.
Also, Madhuri sustained injuries on Sunday evening when her car collided with another car and overturned on the national highway at the Laxmipuram toll gate in Srikakulam.
