Nirmal: Tension prevailed for a while when activists of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) vandalised a police station on Friday night demanding release of a member in Khanapur.
Led by former Adilabad MP Ramesh Rathod, the activists found fault with the police for arresting former Mandal Parishad president Ravi, who was taken into custody for allegedly crashing BRS nominee Bhukya Johnson Naik’s vehicle at a Ganesh pandal. They broke windows of the police station in protest of the arrest.
