BRS leaders have condemned the move. Senior party leaders like KT Rama Rao (KTR) said that Congress govt is abetting the police toughening up opposition leaders. But it was the BRS who called it political, while seniors of the block party have defended the police action over alleged threats to law and order and public safety.
Balka Suman was brought to Nampally Police Station, after undergoing a medical examination. Suman was later produced before a judge. Legal proceedings are expected to go on as police probe allegations regarding the speech.
