Telangana BJP President and MP Bandi Sanjay Kumar was detained by the police in the small hours of Wednesday, triggering protests by his party workers.
However, the police gave no reasons for the detention. Sanjay Kumar, a Lok Sabha MP from the Karimnagar constituency, was picked up by a team of police late on Tuesday night from his residence as reported by PTI.
The MP’s supporters tried to prevent the police from arresting Kumar, leading to some tense moments. Sanjay Kumar took to Twitter to share videos of the ruckus that unfolded at his residence late at night.
Referring to his detention, Sanjay Kumar said, “Fear is real in BRS. First, they stop me from conducting press meet & now arrest me late at night. My only mistake is to question BRS govt on its wrongdoings. Do not stop questioning BRS even if I am jailed.”
Condemning the police action, Union Minister G Kishan Reddy termed as ‘undemocratic’ the detention of Kumar without citing any reason.
