Ex-MLA Guvvala Balaraju Of BRS Arrested
He was arrested at Veldanda and taken to the local police station while coming to Acchampet for the first time after his defeat in the recent Assembly elections.
The Telangana police today arrested BRS leader and former Achampet MLA Guvvala Balaraju.
He was arrested at Veldanda and taken to the local police station while coming to Acchampet for the first time after his defeat in the recent Assembly elections.
As the reasons for the arrest were not known, BRS workers flocked to the Veldanda police station in large numbers. They protested in front of the police station saying that their leader was arrested illegally, and raised slogans demanding his immediate release. They claimed that the Congress government was harassing their leader and arresting BRS leaders at will.
The protests created tension in front of the police station, and the police detained the agitators.
Meanwhile, Balaraju and his followers demanded that they be given a chance to tour the Achampet Assembly constituency.
Balaraju was reportedly placed under house arrest by the police as they knew about a Congress supporters' plan to protest his touring the constituency and participating in public programs - the police reportedly wanted to stop a confrontation.
