On the occasion of the Venkateswaraswami Car Festival in Vadapalli on 30 March 1931, along with the deity, Congress Flag and photos of Mahatma Gandhi and some other national leaders were placed on the car. The Government officials objected to this, and while the procession was about to start, the Sub-Inspector of the Razolu removed the portraits of the national leaders. This act enraged the people who refused to draw the car without the portraits. Consequent to this melee in Chinnavadapalli, the police arrested some people and also resorted to lathi-charge. The crowd retaliated by throwing stone and mud on the police, resulting in their indiscriminate firing on the crowd.
