How to pronounce Lagadapati Rajagopal

The MP who is alleged to have sprayed pepper in the Lok Sabha is called Lagadapati Rajagopal. Most channels are pronouncing the name with a "putty" or a पति at the end. The correct pronunciation is lug-a-duh-party raj-a-go-parl (raj as in British raj, parl like in the beginning of parliament). In Hindi this would read as लगडअपाटि राजअगोपाल. If you can read Telugu, it reads as లగడపాటి రాజగోపాల్.
