The West Godavari police on Wednesday took Palacole TDP MLA Nimmala Ramanaidu into custody under preventive detention following a protest in Palacole town.
Mr. Rama Naidu and beneficiaries of a TIDCO colony arrived at the Penkillapadu TIDCO campus to protest against an ongoing bank loan issue as part of a Vanta-Varpu protest.
To counter the TDP protest, the Palacole YSRCP leaders also staged a protest at the same site, leading to tension.
