Six persons arrested in connection with the attack on a TV channel office were sent to Chanchalguda jail today. Of the six persons arrested, two are women.
The accused had allegedly attacked the MAA TV office as well as a studio where the shooting of a dubbed serial was in progress. They had pelted stones at the studio, breaking its window panes. A case was registered, and they were sent to jail.
Television artistes are on indefinite strike, demanding a ban on non-Telugu serials dubbed into Telugu - they claim that these serials are affecting their livelihood.
There were also protests at studios where dubbed serials are being picturised. The Movie Artistes Association (MAA) also
extended its support to these TV artistes. (INN)
