On Thursday, 16 June 2022, the Anakapalli Sessions Court passed a judgement to arrest the four accused of attacking an on-duty police constable near Tagarapuvalasa, Visakhapatnam District. This incident took place on 20 August 2015 and after seven years of court hearings, the accused were sentenced to 5 years of jail and fined Rs 5,000 each.

As per the statement by a police official, the accused persons belonged to Sanghivalasa Colony near Tagarapuvalasa, Visakhapatnam.
