Day Before Arrest, Anchor Pradeep Recorded “No Drink And Drive” Video 

Practice what you preach.. so goes the adage. But, Telugu small screen's most popular male anchor Pradeep Machiraju doesn't seem to believe in practicing what he preaches.

Barely hours before his arrest in a drunken drive case on New Year eve, Pradeep recorded a video on traffic awareness, where he is seen asking people not to drink and drive. In the video, Pradeep is seen exhorting people to 'think of those who wait for you at home." In this ad, he speaks against rash, careless and irresponsible driving and exhorts the youth to separate drinking and driving.

It may be recalled that Pradeep, famous for his celebrity chat show 'Konchem Touch Lo Unte Cheputa,' was caught being fully drunk while driving on New Year eve on Jubilee Hills road No 45. Breathe analyser tests have recorded the blood alcohol content at 178 as against the permissible 35.
