Visakhapatnam: The knife attack on YSR Congress chief Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy here in October last year had been carried out by the accused for becoming 'famous' and
there was no conspiracy, a top police official said on Wednesday.
J Srinivasa Rao (30), the assailant employed as a chef at a restaurant at the airport here, was suffering from "split personality syndrome" and had no other motive, Police Commissioner Mahesh Chandra Laddha said.
At a press conference here, he cited the findings of the Special Investigation Team which probed the October 25 attack and said Rao had well planned for it and he wanted to become famous throughout the country.
Reddy, the Leader of the Opposition in Andhra Pradesh assembly, escaped with a "deep" cut on his left shoulder in the attack by Rao, who had approached him when he was leaving the VIP lounge to board a flight to Hyderabad and requested for a 'selfie'.
As an unsuspecting Reddy posed for the picture, the man pulled out a small knife generally used in cockfights and plunged it into his left shoulder.
