Police prevented the Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) President A. Revanth Reddy from going to Narsampet to attend the last rites of Damera Rakesh, who died on Friday in the violence that erupted during protests against the Agnipath scheme at the Secunderabad railway station.
Mr. Reddy was stopped by the police near Ghatkesar in Medchal district on the Warangal highway and was asked to come to the police station as he was being taken into preventive custody. A furious Mr. Reddy entered into an argument asking the police why he was being stopped when Ministers and TRS MLAs were participating in the last rites of Rakesh holding party flags.
