Nizamabad: BJP State president Bandi Sanjay and TPCC president A Revanth Reddy were taken into preventive custody by the police as they tried to reach IIIT Basara for extending support to students, who were staging protests on the campus demanding better amenities.

Mild tension prevailed at Bhiknoor toll plaza, where the police personnel obstructed the BJP leader from heading towards IIIT Basara. As the police tried to take BJP leader into custody, BJP workers, including women, obstructed the police.

Amidst this, heated arguments took place between the police and BJP workers. After a few minutes, the police took the BJP State president into custody.

Addressing on the occasion, he said the State Government failed to ensure basic amenities for students on the campus. All the demands of the students should be fulfilled immediately, he said.
