Telangana News | BRS Leaders Condemn Revanth Government for High-Handed Arrest of Social Media Critic

Hyderabad: The Revanth Reddy-led government in Telangana is facing severe criticism following the alleged illegal detention of Konatham Dileep, a prominent Telangana activist and former digital director. Dileep has been vocal on social media, highlighting the government’s shortcomings, which sources say has made him a target of the current administration.

For the past six months, Dileep has reportedly been under police scrutiny, facing harassment for his outspoken criticism of the government. Despite clear orders from the Telangana High Court, which previously ruled against his arrest in a separate case, police allegedly detained Dileep without providing any legal reason.

According to eyewitness accounts, police forcibly took Dileep from his residence without explanation. When questioned by his family, the police claimed they were acting on orders from the Chief Minister’s Office, refusing to disclose further details. No formal FIR or charges have been presented to the public at this time, leaving many questioning the legality of the detention.

Members of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) have expressed outrage at the Congress government’s actions. BRS leaders condemned the police’s behavior, accusing the government of undermining democratic principles and engaging in high-handed tactics under the guise of law and order.

“How can this be called governance when we are witnessing such blatant misuse of power?” said a senior BRS leader. The leaders also demanded Dileep’s immediate release, stating that such incidents represent an attack on the freedom of speech and expression.

As the controversy unfolds, opposition to the Revanth Reddy government is mounting, with citizens and activists alike questioning the state’s commitment to upholding democratic values.

Key Developments:

– Activist Konatham Dileep, known for criticizing the government, detained by police without explanation.
