The alleged 'Love Jihad' case in Kakinada involves the suicide pact of Assistant Engineer K. Nooka Raju's family, with suicide notes suggesting coercion to convert to Islam by accused Sadhik Khan. Former MP V. Vijayasai Reddy accused political parties of suppressing the issue due to minority vote concerns, while BJP member Somu Veerraju called for a central agency probe. Police have registered cases against Khan, who was arrested in Uttar Pradesh while allegedly attempting to flee the country.
