Telangana, Dec 04, 2018 : Revanth Reddy, a top Congress leader in Telangana and the party’s candidate from Kodangal, was detained before dawn today for threatening to stop a public meeting of caretaker chief minister K Chandrashekhar Rao in the constituency.
A police team barged into Revanth Reddy’s home around 3 am, when the family was sleeping, according to his wife.
"Around 3 am some people knocked on our door and broke it open and forced themselves in. My husband and I were sleeping in the room along with our daughter. Are we terrorists that they should treat us like this?" said Geetha Reddy.
With two days left in campaigning for polls on Friday, Mr Reddy has reportedly been shifted to a jail around 90 km from his constituency Kodangal.
