AP CID arrests YSRCP MP in Hyderabad

Raghurama Krishnam Raju revolted against Jagan

Andhra Pradesh police on Friday arrested YSRCP MP Raghurama Krishnam Raju, who revolted against party’s supremo and Chief Minister Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy, from his house here at Boulder Hills of Gachibowli. He was taken to Mangalagiri of Vijayawada after pasting a notice issued under provisions of Criminal Procedure Code on the wall of his house. A posse of policemen from AP Crime Investigation Department (CID) drove in four vehicles to the MP’s palatial house around 3.30 p.m. They entered the house and approached Mr. Raju, conveying to him that he was being arrested in a criminal case registered under different sections of Indian Penal Code (IPC) including 124-A (sedition). Other sections mentioned in the notice were 153-A (promoting enmity between different grounds on grounds of religion, race and place of birth etc) and 505 (statement conducting to public mischief) read with 120-B (criminal conspiracy). Even as the CID officials proceeded to arrest him, Mr. Raju vehemently resisted, picking up argument with them seeking to know on what grounds they were taking action against him.
