Former minster P Shankar Rao conducted a 2-hour long dharna before the statue of Mahatma Gandhi in the Assembly premises, in protest against the arrest of his brother Dayanand by the police on the charges of attempting to grab land.
Shankar Rao claimed that the charges against his brother were false, and that the case is a part of a conspiracy hatched by Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy and DGP V Dinesh Reddy. He even alleged that the police were also planning to arrest his wife in a fake case.
He said that the Chief Minister was defaming the Congress by mistreating a Dalit leader.
It may be mentioned that Shankar Rao's brother Dayanand was arrested on Monday, for allegedly trying to grab 166 square yards of land at Gamininagar (Musheerabad police station limits). (INN)
