Son-in-law also rises under YSR tutelage
----
Eight years ago, not quite a preacher then, Anil Kumar had a brush with the law and the Andhra Pradesh state Assembly was thrown into a turmoil in December 2001 because of this. It so happened that an illegal ISD racket was busted in Hyderabad following a complaint by the DoT on November 21, 2001 that few persons had misused Tata Tele Services for termination of incoming international voice calls bypassing the VSNL gateway and BSNL network. Police booked cases for violation of the Indian Telegraphic Act and Section 420 of IPC against four persons that included M Anil Kumar. And even as the son-in-law surrendered before the court, Rajasekhara Reddy rose in the Assembly to defend him describing the booking of cases against him as political vendetta.
--
Incidentally, Anil Kumar was not born as a Christian. He got converted to Christianity after his marriage to Rajasekhara Reddy's only daughter Sharmila. He started preaching on the `calling of God.' The story of the marriage of Anil Kumar is also not without a twist.
Sharmila, the story goes, had to enter into unwilling matrimony with someone else because of family pressure. This in spite of the fact that she was in love with Anil Kumar and even her father Rajasekhara Reddy doted on her. Reluctantly Anil Kumar too entered into marriage with someone else. But love, they say, is all powerful. A short while later the two got divorced and entered into fresh matrimony
with each other. Rajasekhara Reddy was close at hand to bless this wedding.
