Journalist leaders came under the Intelligence police scanner, and a scribe was placed under house arrest ahead of the visit of Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy to Venkatagiri town on July 21 (Friday).
The leaders were planning to submit a representation to Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy to remind him about the house sites he had promised to journalists.
Even as the message was circulated through the media groups on WhatsApp the previous day, Intelligence sources got a scent of it and reached the house of Venkatagiri Press Club secretary Raja Mohan Babu at the strike of dawn.
