The arrest of TDP Politburo member and former minister Kala Venkatrao has caused a stir across the state. Venkatrao was arrested by Vijayanagaram district police on Wednesday night. However, the suspense ended when Kala Venkatrao was released at 11.15 pm.
SP Rajakumari responded to the arrest and explained the reasons. She said, “MP Vijaya Sai Reddy had lodged a complaint at the Nellimarla police station in Vijayanagaram district on the 2nd of this month.
We repeatedly asked Kala Venkatrao to appear for the trial. As he did not respond properly, he was taken to the police station and was given notice after the hearing and sent back.”
Kala Venkatrao was also incensed over the arrest. He said the government was not doing anything despite the attacks on gods and idols.
Cases are being filed against those who are questioning such injustices and are being arrested. He said he will continue to fight on behalf of the people.
