Justice would not be done to the girl if he was continued in the minister post since there was a possibility of diluting the investigation by using his powers. So, the central government should suspend him from the cabinet, they demanded.
Similar protest was also held in Sircilla town. BRS leaders led by the town president Jindam Chakrapani staged dharna and rasta roko at Chenetha Chowk, demanding the resignation of Sanjay Kumar. There was some jostling between police and BRS workers when the former forcibly vacated the agitating people from the spot.

As the situation turned serious, Superintendent of Police Mahesh B Gite rushed to the spot and brought the situation under control by convincing agitating people.
