YSR Telangana Party leader YS Sharmila was taken into custody by the police during a protest. Sharmila, sister of Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy, is accused of assaulting police personnel.
YS Sharmila was stopped by the police on his way to the office of the Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing the alleged leak of questions for state government recruitment exams. According to DCP (Western Zone) Joel Davis, Sharmila was seen attacking police personnel who were trying to stop her from holding a protest without permission.
Joel Davis said, “When we got information about his march towards the SIT office, officials reached his residence as he had not taken prior permission for the protest.” It is clearly visible in the video of the news agency ANI that Sharmila is scuffling with the policemen.
