Telangana PCC chief A Revanth Reddy was arrested today after an argument with the police. The Police tried to convince Revanth that he was under house arrest and that he cannot go to the Dharna Chowk.
Revanth argued that the police had no right to come to his house and arrest Corporator Vijaya Reddy. The senior Congress leader V. Hanumantha Rao and scores of other party leaders were placed under house arrest today in the wake of the party’s scheduled dharna programme at dharna chowk.
The police had no other option but to bundle him into the Police Vehicle and take him away from his house.
Police have stepped up security near the residence of Revanth at Jubilee Hills with additional deployment of cops, following the Congress leader’s call to hold a demonstration at Indira park in support of the Sarpanchas and Gram Panchayats facing fund crunch.
Earlier police had denied permission for holding the protest programme at Indira park.
