Former minister and YSR Congress Party leader Ambati Rambabu, who was detained by the Guntur police late on Saturday night, was kept at the Nallapad police station till Sunday evening. The police arrested Mr. Rambaba from his residence around 11 pm on Saturday, alleging that he had made derogatory remarks against Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu and derailed police duties.
Angered by remarks allegedly made by the former minister, TDP leaders and activists barricaded Mr. Rambab’s house, pelted stones and vandalized flower pots and window panes, YSR Congress Party leaders alleged. The miscreants also torched Mr Rambabu’s vehicle, burnt his effigies across the state and raised slogans demanding his arrest.
While TDP leaders alleged that Mr. Rambabu had used abusive language against Mr. Naidu, YSR Congress Party leaders alleged that the government was behind the attack on his house and accused the police of failing to control the crowds.
