Ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to the state, Telangana BJP MP and state party chief Bandi Sanjay Kumar was detained from his residence in Karimnagar in the early hours of Wednesday (5 March).
A police team reached the residence of Kumar and took him into custody, ANI reported. The BJP chief's supporters protested against the police action.
Sharing visuals from the scuffle that ensued over police’s attempt to take him into custody, he wrote, “Fear is real in BRS.! First they stop me from conducting press meet & now arrest me late in night. My only mistake is to Question BRS govt on its wrong doings. Do not stop questioning BRS even if I am jailed. Jai Sri Ram ! Bharat Mata ki Jai ! Jai Telangana !”
This comes after Kumar has on Tuesday demanded Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao to reveal his post-graduate degree certificates.
In the videos shared on Kumar's twitter handle, a team of police officers is seen at the BJP MP residence in Karimnagar, before dragging him into the police van amid protests from supporters and party workers.
Earlier, Kumar had held the KCR government in the state responsible for the leakage of question papers of Telangana State Public Service Commission (TSPSC) and class 10, Sanjay had earlier called for the resignations of KCR and son K T Rama Rao from the Cabinet, reports Hindustan Times.
