What was the incident, regarding which Bandi Sanjay Kumar registered the complaint?
Notably, On the 2nd of January, Sunday, the Telangana Police arrested Mr. Bandi Sanjay Kumar, who was staging a protest against the Telangana Rashtra Samithi and Telangana Chief Minister Mr. K. Chandrashekar Rao. He held a protest against the recent Government Order (GO) 317, which issued specific guidelines on employees transfer.
Raising voice against the GO 317, BJP unit in Telangana staged “Jaagran Deeksha” in Karimnagar. However, due to permission issues, they were detained by the Karimnagar Police. The police said the protest was carried out without any permission, amid the Wuhan virus (COVID-19) restrictions. Therefore, they arrested the protesting BJP leaders. He was given a 14 days remand, which was later dismissed by the Telangana High Court, after Mr Bandi Sanjay Kumar filed a bail petition.
