Hyderabad: The police on Tuesday arrested Telangana BJP State president Bandi Sanjay Kumar for attempting to stage a demonstration in Jangaon to protest against the arrest of the party activists by the city police illegally.
The city police arrested the BJYM activists on Monday for staging a protest in Banjara Hills in connection with a liquor scam.
The police took Sanjay into preventive custody when he got down from his caravan to stage a demonstration. Tension prevailed when the BJP supporters tried to prevent the police from arresting Sanjay. A scuffle ensued between the party followers and the police.
The police, however, managed to disperse the supporters from the premises and took Sanjay into custody.
Sanjay was in Station Ghanpur in Jangaon after his ‘Praja Sangrama Yatra’ reached there on Monday night. After arresting Sanjay, the police took him to Karimnagar and dropped him at his residence amid tight security.
In a notice issued to the BJP leaders, who are coordinating the yatra, the Warangal police said the yatra was organized in the limits of Jangaon district of Warangal Commissionerate without permission from the competent authority.
The police asked Sanjay to stop the yatra immediately in view of provocative statements made repeatedly and for mobilizing huge crowds from other districts for ‘dharma deeksha’ planned in the limits of Warangal Commissionerate on Tuesday morning to protest the arrest of BJYM workers in the city the previous day.
In the notice, Wardhannapet Division Assistant Commissioner of Police said if the yatra was not stopped, action would be taken as per law for the maintenance of peace and tranquillity in the district.
Following notice from the police, the BJP legal cell filed a house motion petition in the High Court.
