Andhra Pradesh Police take Pawan into preventive custody as he tries to reach Vijayawada
Police reportedly took Jana Sena Party (JSP) president Pawan Kalyan and party PAC Chairman Nadendla Manohar into preventive custody on Saturday night when they staged a protest by lying on the National Highway (NH) on the Andhra Pradesh-Telangana border.
When the police denied permission to him to enter the Andhra Pradesh, the JSP president staged a protest around midnight on Saturday on the State borders, near Jaggaiahpeta.
Mr. Pawan was on his way to Vijayawada from Hyderabad and as he was denied the permission to enter the State, he staged a protest against the police action on the Hyderabad-Vijayawada NH at the Garikapadu check-post. Tension prevailed on the NH when many party activists thronged the State borders. Traffic came to a standstill for about three hours.
Mr. Pawan came in a convoy from Telangana reportedly to attend a party meeting on Sunday.
However, the NTR District Commissionerate Police, who deployed additional forces on the State borders, stopped the convoy, in view of the volatile law and order situation after the arrest of TDP national president N. Chandrababu Naidu.
Mr. Pawan and other party leaders had an argument with the police officers at the Garikapadu check-post. Earlier, the Krishna district police asked the Gannavaram Airport authorities to deny permission for landing of his flight.
