Comedian Venu Madhav, who recently campaigned for the TDP candidate in the Nandyal by-election, has reportedly filed a case with the police alleging death threats from unknown people.
Venu Madhav shares a special bond with the family of TDP leader Bhuma Bramananda Reddy, who is contesting by-election in Nandyal. The comedian opted to campaign for him in this poll, which will be held on August 23. During his campaign, he made several harsh comments against few YSRCP leaders.
