Tamiliar Eluchi Iyakkam (TEI) workers on Thursday vandalized a heritage super market owned by Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu in protest against the allegedly 'staged' Chittoor encounter.

The furious TEI workers broke into the supermarket and wrecked the entire place, leaving behind broken pieces of wood, shattered glass and destroyed the stock of food stored inside.

Earlier this week, the police in Andhra Pradesh's Chittoor district confirmed the encounter killing of at least 20 persons reportedly involved in the smuggling of Red Sanders trees.

Meanwhile, the National Human Rights Commission has issued notices to the chief secretary and the DGP of Andhra Pradesh, calling for an explanation for the act of the police and forest officials within two weeks. The matter shall be taken up for hearing in the camp sitting of the commission to be held at Hyderabad on April 23.
