The ruling TDP continued its attack on the social media "defamation" of its leaders.
A day after it arrested social media activist and admin of Facebook Page Political Punch Ravi Kiran Inturi, the AP government conducted searches in the social media wing of the YSR Congress Party headquarters at Lotus Pond on Saturday.
The AP police swooped on the party's office, and conducted searches and quizzed some staff members. Upon knowing of this, MPs Vijay Sai Reddy and Mithun Reddy, MLAs Srinivasulu and Anil Kumar Yadav, and former MLA Kannababu and others rushed to the office and questioned the "unwarranted" searches.
The police also served a notice on the party's IT wing chief Challa Madhusudhan Reddy accusing him of keeping Ravi Kiran Inturi on its payroll.
The police said they were acting on a complaint filed by AP Legislature secretary Satyanarayana.
