Amaravati: Three YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) members were arrested for allegedly beheading a goat in front of a banner of former Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy in East Chodavaram village of West Godavari district, according to police. The workers were reportedly under the influence of alcohol at the time of the incident.
